November 15th 2000
Arriving at the station I noticed
37401 "Mary Queen of Scots" waiting to come off
the Manchester line with a Regional Railways liveried 37 in tow.
It could only be 37429 "Eisteddfod Genedlaethol"
so I waited and caught them both heading South, later to return
to Crewe Diesel Depot. 15/11/2000
Next to arrive was Class 90 number
90030 "Crewe Railway Works" named earlier this
year at the Crewe Works open day. There was an exchange of drivers
and the freight train set off South. 15/11/2000
1K57 the 07.49 Holyhead-Crewe
due to arrive at 09.56 appeared at 10.35, this was the reason
I had gone to Crewe because yesterday the Class
37 Group's site reported 37418 "East Lancashire Railway"
as running on the coast. This is a former Coast Line loco that
transferred to Scotland some time ago and returned for one of
the rugby specials. 15/11/2000
90142 in "Freightliner"
livery appeared on a London Euston - Liverpool Lime Street working.
Essentially rigged for freight work, this engine was recorded
on a London-Holyhead train earlier this year. 15/11/2000
1G96 the 08.47 Holyhead - Birmingham
train arrived in Platform 12 behind 37421. The train was running
10 minutes down. 15/11/2000
