Steam on the New Brighton line


I can’t remember ever seeing a steam-hauled passenger train between Seacombe Junction and New Brighton. The only time I saw steam on the New Brighton line was a Stanier Class 8F crossing the bridge at School Lane with a short permanent way train.

John Dyer took his photos of steam trains using the electrified line on services to Wrexham in the early 1960s. The locations are Grove Road, Wallasey Village and Harrison Park. Thanks are due to John, as always, for allowing me to use his images on my blog.
