We travel in a Class 43 HST from Blackpool North to Hellifield on the Midland Railway's Bentham Line, by way of Preston and Blackburn It's a spectacularly beautiful day which shows the landscape at its best, from the flat lands of the Fylde Peninsula to the rolling hillsides of the upper Ribble Valley.

We begin from platform 2 at Blackpool North on what was a branch of the Preston & Wyre Railway's line to the port of Fleetwood On the way we see regular services heading towards Blackpool operated by Class 331s, introduced after the line was electrified in 2018.
