    On This Day in History - Lincoln – 31st December 1970

    At the end of 1970 Lincoln MPD had an allocation of six class 03’s, eight class 08’s and four class 10 diesel shunters making a grand total of eighteen for only nine duties. This was a result of the changes that had been taking place for a number of years previous following the transistion from steam to diesel, reduction in wagon load traffic and local yards and sidings and the introduction of block trains like MGR coal trains and freightliners. The diesel shunter fleet stood at exactly two thousand at the end of 1966 and the basic fact was that from this point in time British Rail could not withdraw the surplus shunting engines fast enough to accomadate the ever decreasing needs. Lincoln’s allocation was as follows

    Class 03 (2021/22/23/24/25/26), class 08 (3074, 3201/05/77, 3347/87, 3533/44), class 10 (4061/63/65/75)

    The duties were as follows

    Duty 23 – Class 08/10 - Trip Lincoln, Bardney, Woodhall, Horncastle
    Duty 24 – Class 03 - Trip Holmes yard, Monks Abbey, East yard, Thorpe on the Hill
    Duty 25 – Class 08/10 - Pilot Holmes Up and Down yards
    Duty 26 – Class 03 - Pilot Holmes yard west end + trip to Bucyrus sidings
    Duty 27 – Class 08/10 - Pilot Lincoln Central station
    Duty 28 – Class 03 – Pilot Boston yard and trips to Boston Docks
    Duty 29 – Class 08/10 – Pilot Spalding yard and trips to Donington Road sidings
    Duty 30 – Class 08/10 – Pilot Newark GN yard and trips to Newark Castle yard and Kilvington sidings
    Duty 31 – Class 08/10 – Pilot Grantham.

    A number of the above were photographed later in life, some still allocated to Lincoln and a couple that had been the victims of the reducing needs of Lincoln MPD. As always feedback and comments welcome
