Galgate
A TPE 397 speeds through the site of Galgate station, in the deep cutting to the south of the viaduct. This closed in 1939 and early photos show two platforms and a substantial building on the down line but no goods yard, although there were goods facilities at nearby Bay Horse. This is a rather inaccessible location and this shot was taken through the gates of the Network Rail access point. Whatever remained of the station was swept away in the early 1970s for electrification.
