37675 "Margam TMD"
on Crewe Diesel Depot. 25/7/2002 |

87027 "Wolf
of Badenoch" poses in the sunshine while waiting
to take over the 9.19 Holyhead-London. 25/7/2002 |

43008 trailing
43099 on the 8.05 London-Holyhead. 25/7/2002 |

47787 "Windsor
Castle" leaving Crewe's platform 12 with the 10.07
Birmingham-Holyhead. 25/7/2002 |

Shortly after the
Holyhead train had left, green liveried D1648/47851 "Traction
Magazine" arrived at Crewe with the 9.19 Holyhead-London
where it handed over to 87027. 25/7/2002 |

87003 "Patriot"
rattled past on the down through line en route for Glasgow. See
the 87's hammering through here while you can. It is now noticeable
that there are very few class 86 passenger workings with the
consequential increase in Voyagers. You have been warned! 25/7/2002 |
56069 "Wolverhampton
Steel Terminal" passed through the platform 12 loop
with what I assume was the Arpley-Sandbach acid service. 56069
and tanks later returned through platform 6 and departed on the
Manchester line. If it was the Sandbach acid train it was running
late. 19/7/2002
An old coastline substitute, Summer
workings only (!), 37521 "English China Clays"
parked on the Diesel Depot. 19/7/2002
47635 was pulling 57005 "Freightliner
Excellence" all over the depot yard. 19/7/2002
Posh class 47 number 47787 "Windsor Castle"
was on the Birmingham-Holyhead run today and is seen here entering
Crewe's platform 12 with the 10.07 service from Birmingham. Thanks
to the highly informative Class
47 List for the advance information. 19/7/2002
A few minutes later celebrity class 47 number 47851/D1648
"Traction Magazine" arrived with the 9.19
Holyhead-London. The train was propelled South by 87016 "Willesden
Intercity Depot". 19/7/2002
