72007 'Clan Mackintosh' stands in the East Lancashire platforms at Preston on 23rd May 1964 with the RCTS Ribble/Lune Railtour. This had explored a number of lines around Lancaster and was now heading for the Southport line, but only to Meols Cop where it turned left towards Wigan. The Southport line would close in September that same year although the East Lancashire platforms lasted until 1972. Photo by Alan Castle. [Editor's note: This railtour, and others covering the Preston to Southport line, are covered in David's book, reviewed on Railscot in October 2021]
