- On what turned out to be "one of those days" we take a look at quite a few movments through Wigan North Western station on Saturday 31st March 2012.
There were 3 railtours booked to run through Wigan North Western and Wigan Wallgate (the adjacent station), all 3 have been captured at least once... Aside from the railtours we have the usual Saturday freight workings, the Tesco, Coal and Intermodal but no flasks. There were one or two light engines as consolation prizes but these were not quite the same as the two unscheduled movments which I failed to film. And how fitting that my 92nd upload should have a Class 92 in it...
The Following Railtours were captured;
57601 & 57001 - West Coast Railways - Private Charter
67005 & 67029 - The Sandgrounder
86259 - Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express*
The following movments were captured;
57601/001 - 1Z43 Carnforth - Cardiff
92015 - 4S43 Daventry - Mossend
70006 - 4C20 Fiddlers Ferry - Carlisle
67005/029 - 1Z80 Stevenage - Southport
57009/66434 - Southbound Light Engine
66424 - 4S49 Daventry - Grangemouth
67029/005 - 1Z81 Southport - Stevenage
66??? - 6M11 Killoch - Fiddlers Ferry
57311 - Northbound Light Engine
87259 - 1Z87 Carlisle - Euston
57601/001 - 1Z44 Cardiff - Carnforth
Yes I managed to ignore gut instinct and consequently got bowled when trying to record the early running northbound leg of this trip - still this was the first time in over a year that I have been bowled, damn Pendo 008...
For anyone interested the following locos also ran through Wigan today but were not captured;
70010 - Southbound loaded coal (some 12 hours late)
66039/66123/66078 - Northbound light engines
As usual best enjoyed in 1080 with the sound up.
