    On this Day in History –Crewe Works - 25th November 1974.

    A tour around the works produced the following:

    Class 08 (08088, 08469), class 20 (20057/68), class 25 (25218/56/67/72), class 37 (37192, 37214/47), class 40 (40007/19/22/29/32/40/56/58/66/67/79/80/96, 40115/28/42/45/46/51/53/59/87), class 47 (1592, 1715, 1950, 47008/13/33/85, 47106/15/18/22/61/75, 47210/13/19/36/70/80/83/89, 47344/53/59, 47403/06/08/09/11/12/13/14/16/19/25/26/69, 47508/42/43/45), class 50 (50005/25/30/47/49), class 76 (76020/34), class 81 (81019), class 85 (E3061, 85031), class 86 (86013/25/39/44/47, 86103, 86238), class 87 (87009, 87101)

    Of note is the high proportion of the first batch of class 47’s (D1500 – D1519, 47401 – 47420), out of twenty locomotives, ten (50%) are out of service in the works.

    I photographed a number of these engines above in later life and they can be seen in this collection.

    On This Day in History –Manchester/Bury/Crewe 28th November 1970.

    In 1970 the class 83 and 84 electric locomotives were all taken out of traffic pending an upgrade to there electrical control equipment. Most were stored at Bury and on this November day in 1970 I ventured north from Nottingham to Bury to track down these stored locomotives. This is what I saw that day.
    Nottingham – Bury:
    Class 08 (3029/34/37, 3404, 3769/71/73/84, 3860), class 20 (8008/12, 8101/41/92), class 25 (5270/74, 7585), class 31 (5655), class 37 (6718, 6809), class 40 (213, 385), class 44 (2), class 45 (26/75, 108), class 47 (1783/85, 1828, 1900), class 86 (E3158).
    In store at Bury were:
    Class 76 (E26000), class 83 (E3024/25/26/27/28/29/30/31/32/35/98/99), class 84 (E3036/37/39/40/41/44/45).
    Present were twelve out of fifteen class 83 locomotives and seven out of ten class 84 locomotives.
    Following on from Bury I paid a visit to Reddish MPD and noted the following:
    Class 25 (5153, 7548/94), class 40 (226), class 76 (E26002/09/10/17/24/35/40/42/46/56).
    My journey back from Manchester to Nottingham was via Crewe and produced the following:
    Class 03 (2386/98), class 08 (3032/33, 3105, 3279, 3585, 3984, 4035, 4143), class 24 (5008/89), class 25 (5203), class 37 (6964), class 40 (274/89/98), class 45 (45), class 46 (141/54), class 47 (1628, 1947), class 50 (405/13/34), class 81 (E3012/20/21/96), class 85 (E3074/81/86), class 86 (E3105/14/16/28/30/32/40/45/48/57/63/68/78/86/89/91).
    On the journey back to Nottingham I made a visit to Crewe MPD:
    Class 08 (3801), class 24 (5007/22/32/38/41/60/79, 5142), class 40 (211/29/32/33/43/67, 320/44), class 47 (1540, 1615/18/23/89, 1708/15/45/55, 1808/34, 1943/45/58/60/63), class 50 (406/07/14/15/21/24/26/29/30/31/33/38/43/47/48).

    Of note in addition to the class 83 and 84 locomotives are the fifteen class 50’s on Crewe MPD representing 30% of the class and the now withdrawn E26000, the original class 76 dating from 1941 which would be broken up at Crewe in October 1972.

    In this collection are a number of images of locomotives seen that day later in there careers. As always feed back and comments welcome
