More about this scene

Freshfield is situated between Formby and Ainsdale on the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway route between Liverpool and Southport. In 1902 the L&Y board approved electrification of the line 630v DC; a partial electric service was to begin in March 1904, with a full service to be in place by the start of that year's holiday season. Freshfield station is still open, though it lost its goods traffic in 1968.
