Picard" waiting to leave on the Chester line as
an ecs working. 24/03/2010
A Network Rail Measurement
Train heads into Crewe with 43013 leading 43014 as 323237 enters
from the Manchester line. 24/03/2010
The main reason for visiting
Crewe was to witness Stanier Pacific 6201 "Princess
Elizabeth" leaving the Heritage Centre and head
for Southall in preparation for a Steam Dreams "Cathedrals
Express" charter from London to Bristol and return.
6201 was deputising for the failed 34067. 24/03/2010
Even in reverse it looks
fantastic. 24/03/2010
Pausing for a few minutes
at the South end of the station, the locomotive continued with
its reverse run to the triangle for turning prior to its run
South. 24/03/2010
A couple of DRS class
37's entered bay platform 8. 24/03/2010
325008 "Peter
Howarth CBE" mail unit ran through the station under
its own power. 24/03/2010
67016 entered the station
with a collection of elderly looking vehicles. It seems a shame
that these locomotives are seen on such mundane duties when they
were actually acquired to run at speeds up to 125mph, predominately
on mail. 24/03/2010

Gresty Bridge with 37259 leading.....
