Lovely old steam train engine with the spire in the background. But why are the people on the tracks?

It would be a big step up to get on it Pete - could the lady have some sarnies in her bag for the journey ;)

4472 pulled the last train through CCS in 1963, that's how I guessed it might be a special occasion.

We always used to travel by train to Blackpool for our hols as children, we loved it and there was a train straight through back then.
Mum took a bag with sarnies and pop in.
Dad used to give the first one to spot the Tower reward.  :)
