Bradford Forster Square 21Mar91

Mainline South

19th October 2006

Couple of shots from Thursday 21nd March 1991 at Forster Square. The station had been recently modernised, although pre-electrification. The old platforms were out of use and another piece of railway history sold for cωh.

The Inter City service[s?] were class 47 hauled from Leeds and 142s were the norm.

Couple of Provincial liveried 142s seen at the 'new' platforms. To the left is the attractive but forlorn old station Buy Print	View from the main station concours, my word it would have been good to visit before the 101s and other first generation traction [including 03s at the parcels bay I believe] disappeared Buy Print	Passengers no more...How many other once grand stations have fallen by the wayside? Morecambe is one I can think of. Buy Print	47524 at Bradford Interchange with a rake of parcels vans, 21Mar91 Buy Print
