Martyn Hilbert's Railway Photography

It is 16.16 on February 2nd 2013, at the end of what has been a glorious Winters Day, with blue skies and sunshine. In the late afternoon twilight, 507004 stands at Ormskirk, waiting to depart with a service to Liverpool Central. Once a through station on the double track main line between Preston & Liverpool Exchange, the remaining single line here is split into two terminal sections, one for the Merseyrail electrics and the other for the diesel service from Preston.
