Tail Lamp and Reviews

Cover: This month in Steam Days we take a look at that busy holiday route which many of us remember, along the North Wales coast from Chester to Holyhead. The last major station before the line crossed into Anglesey was Bangor, and In this scene ex-LMS 'Black Five' No 45130 is pictured at that station, awaiting departure, with a down express passenger train in 1956.
