Ex-LMS 4-6-2 8P Coronation class No 46241 'City of Edinburgh' is seen standing at platform one on an up express waiting for the right of way. Built at Crewe works as LMS No 6241 in April 1940 it was originally built with streamlining but due to wartime restrictions was painted plain black. After the war the streamlining was removed to aid easier maintenance and one clue as to their history was the gap in front of the cylinders between the running plate and the bufferbeam. Number 46241 was finally retired from service in September 1964 when it was withdrawn from Edge Hill shed in Liverpool and was finally cut up in January 1965 by J Cashmore of Great Bridge.
