A look at Clifton Railway Station on the late evening of Saturday 13th July 2013.
Clifton is located on the line from Manchester Victoria to Bolton. Although the station is located on a busy line, very few trains call here. Currently the station is only served in the mornings by the Blackburn to Manchester Victoria service and in the evenings by the Manchester Victoria to Wigan Wallgate service. Both of these are provided by Northern Rail. The line is also used for diversions to Virgin Train services and in this video, a pair of class 221s (Voyagers) can be seen passing through the station towards Manchester.
However, my main purpose for coming to Clifton was to see steam locomotive LMS Jubilee Class 45699 'Galatea' coming through the station on its way back to Carnforth after a day hauling the 'Coast to Coast Express'.
