My first visit to Crewe
for a while and my how the weeds have grown. This was the view
from the concrete footbridge. This platform is not in use of
course. 13/09/2007
The changing face of
Crewe station, this was the view from the rear of the admin buildings
on platform 12. I would guess that this area will soon be closed
off to the public. 13/09/2007
Viewed in the other direction
looking towards the now closed diesel depot. 13/09/2007
Extant remnants of the
old structure with disused OLE hanging from it. 13/09/2007
86632/86501/66512 entering
bay platform 8 - it started to become confusing after this. 13/09/2007
86501 was reported to
have burned out its traction motors a few days ago. 13/09/2007
The cavalcade waited
before running across to the LNWR depot. 13/09/2007
221127 "Wright
Brothers" entered platform 11 with the morning Euston-Llandudno
service. 13/09/2007
86632 then reappeared
with some flats and....
....66512 on the rear.
These two then headed South again. 13/09/2007
Then 66612 "Forth
Raider" appeared with one wagon full of sleepers
and some old support pillars....
....with 66614 on the
rear. These two then also headed back South. 13/09/2007
I just caught a glimpse
of a class 37 moving down the WCML then crossing over towards
platforms 11/12. I waited for it to reappear at the South end
of the station but it never arrived. I hurried to the North end
to find 37410 ticking over in bay platform 10 - Oh joy! 13/09/2007
The other end of this
magnificent beast. As I left the station 410 departed via the
Chester line. 13/09/2007
The engine carried the
name "Aluminium 100" - unofficially I
am sure. 13/09/2007
- BANGOR - HOLYHEAD
