This week in 1980, Saturday 25th October. The Motor Show is in full swing and 81014 has just arrived at Birmingham International with a trainload of visitors. Best guess is this was an Adex from Liverpool as RailGenArchive has it departing at 1548 that day with 1F34 to Lime St.

#TwentySevenTuesday The immaculate 27056 at Loughborough Central during the recent @GcrGreat autumn diesel gala. I really love the atmosphere at this station, it's always a pleasure to visit. This #McRat has #Midland history with early spells at CW & TO depots #GCR @BRCWCo 4/9/26

#MondayMorningBlues Double Cromptons at Leicester.
A storming run from Loughborough Central on Friday with the stunning 33116 'Hertfordshire Rail Tours' & guest 33103 double heading the 17.45 service to Leicester North. Great to have a pair of noisy #Baggies. @BRCWCo #GCR 4/9/26

This September, our staff and volunteers are jumping 42 metres off Larpool Viaduct, the only bridge bungee jump in England, to raise funds for the Bridge 42 Appeal. After 180 years of service, this vital structure needs repairs. Every pound helps. moorsline.co.uk/HhF1h
