37418 "East Lancashire Railway" arrived in platform 6 with the 8.33 Manchester Piccadilly to Cardiff Rugby special.
With little apparent
effort 418 lifted the stock out of Crewe. How much longer will
we see this scene? 17/11/2001
Heading for Cardiff. 17/11/2001
37412 "Driver
John Elliott" appeared off the Diesel depot and crossed
over the running lines to collect stock for the next train. 412
is, of course, another past NWC stalwart. 17/11/2001
Once again the reversal, with
stock, into the station, hmmm... This, of course, used to happen
on a daily basis at the North end when trains from North Wales
turned at Crewe via the Chester line and bay platform 9. 17/11/2001
Just like the "old"
days sat in platform 12 waiting to depart. 17/11/2001
Moving subject, always trouble
for the digitals, can be overcome with some effect by panning.
This is my first attempt as "Driver John" ran past.

An up Virgin train
was sat in platform 5 and set off at exactly the same time as
412. I was convinced I would be blocked by the red peril but 412
easily outran the DVT 82195 "Spirit of ???"
and 87017 "Iron Duke", the former just
appearing in shot as I did a run past telephoto. 17/11/2001
