Two car DMU sent to Springs Branch for asbestos removal after catching fire on a Liverpool - Manchester train. June 1985.
Hi Tom, I went out to that on chat moss and dragged it back to Springs Branch. I remember the fire engines getting bogged down trying to cross the farmers fields to get to it. I actually hooked it up to the loco to drag it to N-L-W loop to run-around then down to Springs Branch. Only later did they realise that it contained Asbestos, so much for Health & Safety! I can't remember who my driver was that night!
