Wrea Green
156429 has just passed through the site of Wrea Green station (beyond the bridge) on 29th March 2022 and is on the 1874 link to Kirkham North Junction, which replaced the old line to Bradkirk. The signal protects the main line but also allows trains to run into Platform 1 at Kirkham if the Blackpool South line was operating as an isolated shuttle. In practice all branch trains run through to Preston and this unit is on a diagram that also includes trips to Colne and Ormskirk. The long lens has accentuated the slight gradients on what is a fairly level stretch of railway line.
