On this Day in History - Lenton South Junction, Trowell Junction and Toton – 19th July 1969

The school holidays have just started and forty two years ago it was out and about on the push bike.
Lenton South Junction
Class 20 (8037, 8158), class 25 (7523)
Trowell Junction
Class 20 (8007/47, 8137/47/59/73/97), class 31 (5813), class 37 (6811), class 45 (63/93, 118), class 46 (163), class 47 (1806/23/27/77)
Toton
Class 08 (3026/29, 3404), class 20 (8006/61/63/64, 8114/38/41/43/47/48/50/52/62/76/79/88/89), class 25 (5227/32/42/44, 7500/12/16/29/87, 7602/05/18), class 27 (5375), class 31 (5805), class 44 (2/6/10), class 45 (11/17/37/62/68/76/80/91/97, 108/26), class 47 (1519/46, 1694, 1729/41/59, 1824/29)

Of note are 1519, one of the original batch of twenty class 47’s which did not often stray from the ECML, the ill fated 7605 which would be destroyed three years later just “down the road” at Lenton South Junction and class 27 5375 which is a reminder that during the 1960’s half the class 27 fleet were Midland Main Line engines. Also at this time Toton was receiving class 20’s transferred from the London area and from Scotland and on this day I saw for the first time 8006/07 ex London and 8114 ex Scotland.

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

On this day in History - North Nottinghamshire – 20th July 1969

The school holidays have just started and forty two years ago on the day that man first set foot on the moon it was out with the push bike for the forty mile plus round trip to Shirebrook calling in on the way at the old steam shed at Kirkby in Ashfield which was still being used as a stabling point.
Kirkby in Ashfield MPD
Class 20 (8010/12/16/39/40/45/47/48/59/62/68/91, 8111/14/37/44/57/62/67/71/72/74/81/85/91/96), class 45 (66), class 47 (1752, 1807/31)
Shirebrook MPD
Class 08 (3325), class 10 (4057/66/69), class 31 (5584, 5684/87, 5806/14/19/23/24/26/30/33/35/44), class 47 (1518/24, 1791, 1801/97/99, 1998), Brush Prototype HS4000.

Of note are 1518, one of the original batch of twenty class 47’s which did not often stray from the ECML passenger duties, what that was doing at Shirebrook, a freight depot I do not know. HS 4000 of course was the Brush Type 5 prototype Kestrel and was at this time on trial with British Rail and a Tinsley engine. It was regularly out-stationed at Shirebrook working coal trains to Whitemoor yard, March. Also at this time Toton was receiving class 20’s transferred from the London area and from Scotland and on this day I saw for the first time 8010/12 ex London and 8111 ex Scotland.
