It was my day off yesterday so I'm a day late, but I wanted to leave a tribute to him with the training ground only being down the road from the station.

Rest in peace Jota, the world will miss you.

Found a little memory from when I worked in The Champions Lounge in the Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand at Anfield, that was one hell of a game! I was shaking when we got that 4th goal!

Big thanks to everyone who came to our AGM today. Lots to talk about as we looked back on the year we successfully took 507001 into preservation. We also looked to the future, as we think about ways of allowing the unit to carry passengers in preservation.

Some more love for Northern, their last Blackburn service of the evening waits to depart Headbolt Lane.

Whilst I was waiting for it to go so I could close the platform for the night!

Watching the usual troublesome youths get thrown from their illegally modified electric bikes by undercover police is the most satisfying thing I've got to witness so far

Being a Merseyrail worker I don't show Northern a whole lot of love..

So here's a double 150 waiting to form their 14:39 service from Headbolt Lane to Blackburn.

"this is merseyrail they seem to have quiet a few." Suggests it was one of our services, when it wasn't.

This incident involved a Transpennine Express service formed of 2 Class 185's, it wasn't a Merseyrail service.
