Seen from the Hest Bank Crossing Footbridge an express train travelling about 100mph

despite being called “The West Coast Main Line” this 500m length of track south from Hest Bank Crossing is the only section between Euston and Glasgow where the line actually runs alongside the west coast!

A Pendolino with Hest Bank Beach can be see on the left..

At 100mph passengers have got a clear view of the sea for just 10 seconds!
