Group Description
The unique Yahoo rail email group covering LIVERPOOL and MERSEYSIDE, allows members to share gen, report sightings and discuss rail topics. Nothing railway orientated is taboo, we cover the present day and preservation scenes and your posts can relate to locos, rolling stock, track machines or plant - even railway structures if you will. We welcome debate, questions being asked or anything which helps to improve your enjoyment of the railway hobby.
If you're not already a group member, feel free to join us. The only conditions are that you're a railway enthusiast and are willing to share your news, views and topics which SOLELY RELATE TO THE LIVERPOOL AND MERSEYSIDE AREA including Rainford, Ormskirk, Widnes, Runcorn, Helsby, and Ellesmere Port.
