The last time I went from Preston to Leyland was to look for a computer programming job there in 1968 or 69 - which I didn't get - probably for the best looking back on it. I had travelled up from Kent via Euston. The Preston to Leyland trip was in a clanky old diesel mechanical unit. The clutch wasn't too good as the driver crunched through the gears all the way. Amazing what sticks in your memory. Great to see how things have change (should have done after 50 odd years). Super train, great acceleration.

All regional rail lines across the counrtu need to be upgraded to this standard. This is just outstanding.

This line has just been electrified through Chorley towards Manchester and from Preston to Blackpool.... (I live in the Preston./Chorley Area...)

Is this service no longer running? I took this train often before COVID but no longer see it on the timetables.

Do you drive the Preston to Ormskirk at all ?

An interesting trip. It's just a bit disconcerting when you see a train coming towards you on the other track and it disappears. (Iknow what causes this, :-) ) What does AC Crewe mean on the information panel?

I believe the AC Crewe info is on which substation is powering the overhead lines.

It's the electrical control room, that's responsible for the control of the OHLE for the particular line. They control the traction electricity supply to the overhead lines. They can also switch it off in an emergency.
