33056 is to be scrapped shortly
to aid the overhaul of 33102 and the restoration of 25322/D7672
"Tamworth Castle".
An interesting
line-up at Crewe today as five redundant class 87's arrived on
a crew training run! 26/4/2005
Individually they are
87008 formerly "City of Liverpool" 26/4/2005
87021 formerly
"Robert the Bruce" 26/4/2005
87025 formerly "County
of Cheshire" 26/4/2005
87026 formerly "Sir
Richard Arkwright" 26/4/2005
87007 formerly
"City of Manchester" 26/4/2005
In bay 3 was 57316
"Fab 1" 26/4/2005
92043 ran through
with a northbound freight. 26/4/2005
Now you don't see many
of these nowadays - mail unit 325015 was heading North but whether
it went up the WCML or round to the IEMD I don't know. 26/4/2005
150284 looking
pretty while waiting to leave for South Wales. 26/4/2005
47805 entered bay
platform 7 then reversed out again. 26/4/2005
Work on the redundant
bays continues and we now have a bright red bus shelter on platform
12! 26/4/2005
This notice on the contractor's
fencing was quite intriguing - platform 13 extant! 26/4/2005
Meanwhile, at the
North end, a wall has been built across the tracked - I assume
that it is to form a walkway to link the car-park to platform
12. Curiouser and curiouser said Ian......
