longton_old11.jpg) Having received the 'tip' from the guard, Stanier 'Black 5' 4-6-0 No. 45206 clears its cylinder drain-cocks and prepares to depart from New Longton & Hutton with 1L59, the 5.32 pm Southport – Accrington service in August 1964. This is the only train of the day to run over WLR metals bearing Class 1 lamps; the 'express passenger' status presumably having been bestowed on the working by the timetabling department as some form of recognition of the fact that it does not call at either Hoole or Penwortham. Nevertheless, 1L59 has actually called everywhere else en-route.
