158831, AW 14.34 Holyhead-Cardiff Central (1V97, 3L), Northgate Arena car park
This view from Chester's Northgate Arena car park would once
have been somewhat different with two bridges crossing the railway below. These two bridges carried railway tracks from Chester Northgate's small depot back to the 'mainline' that curved away towards Mickle Trafford. I am actually standing on the trackbed of the lines that came from the good's shed with the lines into Northgate station behind me. 158831 is seen leaving Chester General (a short distance around the curve in the background) with the 14.34 Holyhead to Cardiff Central service.
