195106, from York to Blackpool on 5th September 2022, crosses the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for the second time after passing through nearby Church and Oswaldtwistle station. This is the Aspen Bridge, the two railway bridges being about a quarter of a mile apart, but the canal travels double that distance following the contour line. This new bridge was installed in February 2020, one of two on the East Lancashire line, necessitating a two-week full closure (See image 72228).
