PHIL SEYMOUR'S DATA RECORDS
*************************************************************
The following data has been compiled by Jim Fenton from notebooks
passed to him by Hilary Seymour.
Hilary's husband Phil Seymour, a friend of Jim's, passed away in the
early 80s.
Phil was an avid railway enthusiast and similar to Jim, made
exhaustive notes of the railway trips he
took within our region.
The following data covers the period 1966 - 1968 when steam was
fast disappearing from our railways and
is another unique record of what was happening to our railways at that
time.
The data has been
methodically compiled by Jim Fenton and I thank him for his effort and
expertise.
I also thank
Hilary Seymour for allowing us access to her late husband's notes.
I have found
myself lost in memories as I went through the notes. I found the visit
to Crewe in 1967,
Cashmore's scrapyard in Newport (1968), Woodham's yard at Barry Island
(1968) and Phil's trip to Llandudno
in September (1968) fascinating reading.
So why don't you
treat yourself to a trip back in time. Have a look at the cold engines
awaiting
their fate at Cashmore's and Woodhams, have a wander around some of the
top sheds in our region
and have a look at what steam was still working during this period.
This page is
dedicated to the memory of Phil Seymour.
*********************************
1966
- 1968: TRAINSPOTTING OBSERVATIONS II by Jim Fenton.
The trainspotting observations below are
those of a former
work colleague, the late Phil Seymour. The records were passed on to me
by
Phil’s wife Hilary who thought that they were too important to be
dispatched to
the bin! What foresight!
Phil, as a boy, lived in Bebington on the
Wirral, so
although not entirely relevant to North Wales the records are
geographically
widespread and document the variety of motive power around England and
Wales in
the mid 60’s. The records are derived from four notebooks passed on to
me, many
of which unfortunately are not dated accurately. Much ‘detective work’
has been
done via cross reference to Phil’s dated photographs in my possession
and
historical records of certain railtours.
It was interesting to discover that on 20th
April 1968 while I stood on the platform at Poulton le Fylde
photographing the
Lancastrian No. 2 tour passing through,
Phil was actually on the train! It was to be another c.12 years until
our paths
“crossed” again when we both worked for the same company!

Notes:
1) This was Phil’s last visit to Mollington Street shed, as it closed to steam on 6th November 1967. A massive reduction in numbers of steam locomotives compared to the visit a year previous. At the end of his record of this visit he has written the poignant comment “Good bye steam”.

Planned
itinerary for the

Departing from
Liverpool
(Lime Street) at 08.50 approx., Wigan (North Western) (pick up 09.40
approx.),
Preston (pick up 10.15 approx.), Poulton Curve, Fleetwood (Wyre Dock)
(Reverse), Poulton Station, Preston, Todd Lane Jct., Farington Curve,
Preston,
Windermere (Reverse), Morecambe South Jct., Morecambe Promenade
(Reverse),
Heysham Harbour (Reverse), Morecambe Promenade (Reverse), Morecambe
North Jct.,
Carnforth F & M Jct., Hellifield, Blackburn, Bamber Bridge Jct.,
Farington
Curve Jct., Preston (arr. 18.30 approx. set down), Burscough North
Jct., Southport
South Jct., Liverpool Exchange (arr. 20.00 approx). Locomotives were
70013
‘Oliver Cromwell’ and 45156 ‘Ayrshire Yeomanry’.
It must have
been a grand
day out, all for the princely sum of 55/- return from Liverpool!!
Phil obviously had the opportunity to travel on a prolonged holiday to the southwest in August 1968 (perhaps to distract himself from ‘The End’).
