“Along LMS Lines” is a series of films featuring steam traction along a variety of former LMS lines. In this instalment, we cover the lines around STOKE-ON-TRENT, STOCKPORT and CREWE.

Beginning on the West Coast Main Line at STAFFORD and NORTON BRIDGE, we cover the STOKE-ON-TRENT to CHURNET VALLEY lines terminating at CALDON LOWER.

Back at Stoke, a visit to the shed is included. It is then north to STOCKPORT via ADSWOOD. An in depth look at EDGELEY station and shed shows Jubilees, B1's, WD, Crab, Stanier and Standard types from the early 1960’s to 1968.

On to CREWE via MANCHESTER PICCADILLY with a visiting A4 pacific.

Activity at CREWE shows many types of locomotives from Jinty to Duchess, and a few early diesel and electric types in their early liveries. A visit to Crewe South shed is also included.

Most of the film material is in colour and the film has an extensively researched commentary with an authentic sound track.

Beginning where Part 1 left off at Stafford, we leave the West Coast main line to visit Stoke-on-Trent and the Churnet Valley to Caldon and Congleton which was visited with a Black 5. North to Stockport for extensive coverage of the area through Edgeley and the engines that visited the shed there. The end of steam at Manchester Piccadilly, retum to Crewe via Sandbach. The last ten minutes are spent at Crewe with not only LMS power in the form of Duchesses, Scots and Jubilees but the early electrics and diesels as well. An area covered in detail not seen before on a video.
