	Four years later and steam had been replaced by diesel. Here's a 1-co-co-1 BR Sulzer Type 4 (later class 45) on the Up London service approaching the overbridge at Upper Broughton on 7th April 1963. Note the four wheeled van behind the loco, ten or more coaches and the boiler exhaust. J S Gilks This is the only photograph which I have seen of a diesel-hauled service train on the line
	Here's a shot of one of the infamous class 141 4-wheel railbuses running north past the site of Upper Broughton station in December 1987. 141 012 had been at RTC to have its engine and transmission replaced in a bid to improve the performance of these truly awful trains. Bob Osborne
