Report Date Title Report Source
08/09/1949 Manchester London Road Station Fowler 2-6-4T No. 42355 was noted at London Road Statlon on 8/9, painted black and fully lined and with the new crest on the tank sides. Class '4M.T.' No. 43042 was noted in similar livery near Broadheath (Altrincham) on the same date. A smart little piece of running was noted on 6/9 by 'Jubilee' No. 5740 Munster. Although arriving at Stockport on time with the 8.35 a.m. ex-Euston, the slow station work here made a three minutes late departure from the latter. Extremely fast and unchecked running resulted in a three minutes early arrival at London Road, Manchester. SLS/194910
