Railway Herald
On the 15th April 2023 Class 150/2 No. 150269 approaches Bradwell Lane bridge, in between Holmes Chapel and Sandbach Cheshire, while working a Carmarthen service which should have turned round at Manchester Piccadilly but due to the Class 150/0s lower top speed when compared to the booked Class 175 had to terminate short at Wilmslow. Of interest No. 150269 is in a very clean Northern blue and white livery rather than the Red and White of Transport for Wales as I believe it had been working in the York / Newcastle areas previously. The flatness of the Cheshire Plain is noticeable in the background with the Peak District hills being faintly visible above the drivers cab.
