40025, formerly named Lusitania, calls at Helsby with a North Wales to Manchester service in November 1980. Wisps of steam from the front end indicate the boiler is working. Beyond the loco a Park Royal Class 103 DMU can be seen waiting in the adjoining platform to make another shuttle run through Ellesmere Port to Hooton.
