West Lancashire Light Railway

3rd May 2026


The scene at Becconsall station with "Montalban" at the head of the train.

This 2ft gauge railway has a really authentic narrow gauge atmosphere.

"Montalban" has just arrived at "Delph" station...

... and is in the process of running around its 3 coach train.

Now just running through the loop points.

With the drivers permission I was able to cross the track to capture this view of the train awaiting departure from Delph.

Arriving back at Becconsall.

I can highly recommend the cafe in the gazebo at Becconsall station.
We had sandwiches with super lemon drizzle cake and a pot of tea - very tasty & great value!

Two flagmen protect the crossing as the loco runs around.
