No. 1019. The Bury route had been electrified by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway in 1916 using a 1200 volt DC third rail system. This remained in place until the light rail takeover in 1992. No. 1019 is seen approaching Heaton Park in May 1998. The profusion of late spring blossom made the picture irresistible.
