Park South Junction
Preserved B1 No. 61306 (it was never an LNER loco) leads ‘Flying Scotsman' round the sharp curve between Park South and Dalton Junctions, avoiding Barrow in Furness with the M&GNJRS 'The Lakelander’ special returning from Sellafield to London Euston on 8 May 1976. The B1 gave way to ex-LNWR Precedent class No. 790 ‘Hardwicke’ at Ulverston and steam was replaced by electric power at Carnforth. I have somehow managed to gain some elevation, possibly standing on a lineside cabinet, and no-one batted an eyelid - how times change!
