Poulton No 5 Junction
This view looks north along the Fleetwood line from Gerrard's Terrace bridge in Poulton-le-Fylde on 31st December 2019. Signals and track are still in place on the long closed (and severed) railway, although when the lines were fully operational there was a triple bracket signal at this point. Immediately behind the camera was Poulton No.5 signal box where the direct line to Blackpool North (the Poulton Curve) diverged from the line to Poulton No.3 just outside the station. The preservation group who hope to reopen the line to Fleetwood continue to make slow progress. See image 27344 taken from this spot ten year's earlier.
