Ricocaroni, you could'nt have gone to Haydock Park station on the train in 1975 as the station finally closed to passengers in 1965, and that included race days. Unless you are meaning you went to Haydock Park and went to Bryn station?.

Does anyone know anything about this footage, where it came from and whether any more footage was filmed?. It just starts mid way down the old disused track, we don't see it pass over the ruined/rotted iron bridge further up towards Golborne, so I would've assumed the person filming would've started filming much earlier before the train reaches the station, unless the shots before it were unrelated and was just edited out (maybe some random family footage). I don't think the person who uploaded it had any connection to the footage that his/her uncle, dad or whatever had filmed, seems like it was taken from somewhere else and uploaded to youtube. And that the uploader never mentions Ashton station in the title just Haydock Park station suggests to me he doesn't know much about the stations filmed. Has this been seen before it was uploaded a few years ago? because it's the first time I've come across it. It could've come from a railway documentary taken by a professional cinematographer or something made for British Railways.
