Sprinter entering Blackburn station

One of the earliest 'second generation' diesel units of the 1980s, 150005, enters Blackburn from the east, on the 15.25 Clitheroe to Rochdale service. There are now two ways to get directly from here to Rochdale, either via Manchester Victoria (this service), or via Todmorden (a shorter route, departing in the opposite direction).
