Springfield Terrace.


An electric tram in the city.


The historic Judges' Lodgings.


Lancaster's main station (Lancaster Castle) , on the West Coast Main Line of the LNWR.


47539 and a class 86 pass at Lancaster in 1982.


A 142 'Pacer' sits in the Morecambe bay platforms in 1992.


In 2011, Virgin Trains were running the main line expresses.

The next post will see us looking a the bus and beer scene in Lancaster.
