In the late 50s and early 60s, steam-hauled special trains regularly
brought bank holiday trippers to New Brighton for a day out. John Dyer took
these photos on the third-rail electrified route that was more usually
associated with the steady procession of commuter services to Liverpool Central
Low Level.
This selection from John’s archive features the Fairburn and
Stanier-designed former LMS tank engines that were sometimes used on these
trains. These particular excursions had brought visitors from Stoke-on-Trent,
Wrexham and Bangor between 1958 and 1962.
