Photographed from the footplate whilst dropping down into Lime Street from Edge Hill 1980s. It always fascinated me how they cut through the solid rock to produce this cutting so when I was on the Liverpool Job I took these shots, I think it was a class 86 that had just been released and it was waiting to back onto the stock that was arriving from Euston.
