    On this Day in History - Barry – Swansea – 4th August 1971.

    The family holiday in 1971 was to Barry Island, South Wales and it was the last year I went on holiday with them. The family holiday was the one time in the year that I would have a day out on the railways with my Dad in tow. He was not the slightest bit interested in railways but always felt that this was the time to take a more direct interest in my hobby and spend a day with his son. I had already dragged him round the graveyard of steam the previous year, so in 1971 we had a day out to Swansea and this is what we saw that day.

    On this Day in History - Cardiff – 6th August 1970

    The family holiday in 1970 was to Barry Island, South Wales The family holiday was the one time in the year that I would have a day out on the railways with my Dad in tow. He was not the slightest bit interested in railways but always felt that this was the time to take a more direct interest in my hobby and spend a day with his son. The year before it was a day on the Ffestiniog Railway and this year I had already dragged him round the graveyard of steam before we set out for an afternoon at Cardiff and this is what we saw that day.

    Barry – Cardiff
    Class 08 (3759, 4012), class 35 (7095), class 37 (6881), class 45 (127)
    Cardiff Canton MPD (86A)

    Locomotives of note are the three class 14’s which had all been withdrawn almost two years previously in October 1968 (9509/19) and December 1969 (9535). 9509/19 would not survive much longer as within three months they had been towed to G Cohen’s yard at Kettering and broken up in November 1970. 9535 was sold to the National Coal Board for further use in the North East and would survive until January 1984.

    On this day in History - Stoke/Crewe Works– 17th August 1969

    On this day forty one years ago I paid a visit to Stoke and Crewe. At Stoke locomotives were stabled at Cockshute and on shed were four class 08’s (3291/92, 3798, 3801), eleven class 24’s (5011/20/23/27/33/44/49/63/76/86/92) and one class 25 (5237). Later a tour around Crewe Works produced three class 08’s (3068/95, 3217), one class 11 (12062), four class 20’s (8061/67, 8188, 8303), three class 25’s (7555/61, 7627), thirteen class 40’s (218/39/42/45/73/75/77/81/88, 345/52/64/94), thirty four class 47’s (1501/02/05/06/08/09/10/14/17/28/29/48, 1617/48/77/84/87, 1701/02/12/32/39/44/50/60, 1811/12/58/63/86, 1919/37/60/83), one class 50 (400), three class 73’s (E6012/13/25), one class 74 (E6109), five class 76’s (E26006/16/23/28/48), one class 82 (E3050), one class 84 (E3045), one class 85 (E3077) and four class 86’s (E3111/13/52/93).

    Of note is the variety of classes under repair at Crewe works including Southern Region electro-diesels and the Manchester – Sheffield dc electrics which were repaired at Crewe following the closure of Gorton works in the mid 1960’s. Also of note is the large number of the first batch of class 47’s (nine out of twenty). After six years in traffic were they due there first general repair? Finally 12062 would be withdrawn eight months later in April 1970 and was broken up at Derby works in December 1971.

    A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome
