On 3rd October 1990 we filmed aboard 31469 on the 10.48 departure from Manchester Victoria to Barrow-in-Furness, one of the last provincial hauled routes.
Traditional semaphore signals remain in use after we diverge from the West Coast Mainline at Carnforth and traverse the southern section of the Cumbrian Coast.
The train operates limited stops to Preston then all stations to Barrow except Dalton and Roose.
The cab ride compliments Cab Ride No. 40 which covers Barrow-in-Furness to Carlisle later the same day.
Please note there is no formal commentary other than cab conversations which are not always audible above locomotive sounds.
