Blackpool North
The first Class 88 electro-diesel at Blackpool North was 88003 'Genesis' on the rear of the 'Blue Boys' railtour. This ran from Newport on 9th February 2019 on a circuitous route with several motive power changes. 88003 was on the rear on a leg from Blackburn hauled by 57307 but unfortunately arrived just after dusk. The long train also meant that 88003 was off the end of Platform 2 at Blackpool and is seen on arrival, just before the tour participants swarmed the loco. It later hauled the train to Birmingham. [Photographers beware: The bingo hall car park from which this image was taken is now enforcing parking charges by CCTV. This turned into a very expensive photo].
