Fylde Junction

Preston power box is approaching 40 years old having been commissioned in 1973. Although it is taking on additional responsibilities from 2012, with the closure of several local signal boxes, in the long term it is planned to replace it through a new regional signalling centre in Manchester. 66111 passes the box and junction with the Blackpool lines as it heads north on the WCML with the Tesco Express on a wet Easter Monday morning.
