BLS "Ruby Shoesday", 28th October 2018
This was another wonderful tour organised by the Branch Line Society, marking 40 years of Merseyrail and raising funds for the Merseyside and Cheshire Blood Bikes Charity. Run on a cold but gloriously sunny day, over £7,500 was raised and a great time had by all. Thanks to all involved in this venture. As usual, a few pictures to start things off, more to add as time permits.

507 001, BLS "Ruby Shoesday"Birkdale Siding No.3, 28th October 2018
The BLS "Ruby Shoesday" tour train was split at Southport and 507 001 used to visit the Southport No. 9 Siding and, after another set of reversals, Birkdale Siding No. 3, the remains of the triangle here. The train is seen as far as it is able to go along the siding, adjacent to Southport Siding No. 10, where the train in the foreground is stabled. The pointwork here is out of use. As the sun sets, the train is about to reverse twice again before returning to the station. Photo taken on my behalf by authorised MR staff. 16:37¾, Sunday 28th October 2018. Digital Image No. IGMP41308.
