Marine Parade station platform looking inland in the opposite direction to the picture below, the loco is on the run-round loop. The track/loop for the second platform used to be on the right but you wouldn't know.<br>[&copy; John Cameron 2017]

Looking towards the sea Mr Sheppard (smiling) sits on Mr Adlam's lap (but don't tell anyone!) while doing the run-round loop at Marine Parade station, both riding 'Jenny'. The driver is on the other side of the cab. The disused second platform is to the left; its track is now replaced by grass. Southport pier (sadly no tramway operating these days) is in the upper background.<br>[&copy; John Cameron 2017]

Some participants enjoy doing the shed road on a sleeper train which is kindly being guided by Alan Sheppard. The running line is to the right, Pleasureland station is not far behind the camera.<br>[&copy; John Cameron 2017]
