The temporary Sunday
double header, the 18.12 Crewe-Holyhead, standing ready to leave
at Crewe. 37429 "Eisteddfod Genedlaethol" leads
37401 "Mary Queen of Scots". Both engines were
under power and on this occasion 37401 left with a cascade of
sparks coming from the exhaust, an impressive sight!. 15/10/2000 |

The drivers swap notes
before the train leaves for Holyhead. It was a particularly dark
dry night and digital photographs become very grainy. 15/10/2000 |

I called in Crewe to
see the arrival of the 15.58 Holyhead-Crewe which eventually
arrived at 18.45hrs behind 37401 "Mary Queen of Scots"
after I had left. While waiting I saw 86231 "Starlight
Express" arrive and depart with a Glasgow train. 3/10/2000 |

37/4's to spare. 37421(L),
37412 and 37429 graced the shed yard, presumably waiting for
work! 3/10/2000 |
