Meols Cop
Two Sprinters grind round the sharp curve at Meols Cop, while working from Southport to Manchester on 14th August 2020. Bullhead rails are still in place on both tracks. The train is passing the site of the east junction of the triangle that contained the L&YR Meols Cop electric train depot, and led on to the old Preston line. The line to Preston closed in 1964 but the junction lasted until the electric depot closed in 1970. Trees now completely obscure this and the triangle itself is now occupied by a school.
