With the down home bracket signal making a fine sight against the azure blue sky at Poulton-le-Fylde station 185151 has just departed with the 10.29 Manchester Airport to Blackpool service. The L&Y 1896 signal box can be seen in the distance. The right-hand submissive doll holds the down home signal for the Fleetwodd branch that peels off to the right after the bridge. This branch has not seen any traffic for many years despite regular calls for the mothballed route to be re-opened.
