With reference to previous postings the Loco is standing at the same Platform but of course facing the "normal" way ie: ready to depart in the Huncoat direction. In the "old days" when going in the Burnley direction you had the choice of Platforms. This one or the one serving trains from Church direction. The central stairs are visible leading to the train in the photo and also two other platforms. The one to the right which took the Church direction trains and behind it was a Bay Platform with stop Buffers. This was used for trains starting at Accrington and going in the Church direction. I used this Platform daily many years ago to go to Bolton on a Manchester train via of course Blackburn.
