Summary

Description
English: Aintree: Grand National Race Special in Sidings.
View roughly SW to Aintree Sorting Sidings, where several of the 27 Race Specials were waiting to take racegoers home (all over Britain, from Glasgow to London to Bristol) after the 1955 Grand National. It was a filthy wet and cold day - but I had backed the Winner (Quare Times)! This is a memorable and dramatic scene, but I can't exactly place it in location: these trains were the ones that left from Aintree Racecourse Station, which was to the left and on the ex- Lancashire & Yorkshire Fazakerley Junction - North Mersey line. [Can anyone be more specific?]
