Riding the West Lancashire Light Railway with Quarry Hunslet Irish Mail | Including Footplate Ride!

A visit to the West Lancashire Light Railway on Sat 17th June 2023 for a special open day arranged by the Meryside & South West Lancs group of the 009 society. We ride the full length of the line from Becconsall to Delph behind Quarry Hunslet 0-4-0ST 'Irish Mail' (works No 803 of 1903). After running round, we join the footplate for the return ride back to Becconsall!

I love the footplate shot!! I’ve had a couple of rides in the footplate of quarry Hunslet and I loved it!

Thanks! I love the little Hunslets, but this was my first time on the footplate!
