Rainhill. The ticket letter and ticket classed this as "train 1" and
Alan Osborn confirms he was aware of no less than eight departures from Euston
that morning (5 for BR, one of which terminated at Allerton and 3 for private operators,
two of which terminated at Runcorn) and he personally travelled on
"train 4".
