BR in the 1990s Crewe Station South end on 2nd & 8th August 1991
Crewe Station (South end) on 2nd & 8th August 1991
Continuing with my archive of video recording between the years of 1986 to 2001 this clip is of the south end of platform 12 at Crewe station taken on 2nd and 8th August 1991. We see many diesel classes with more than it's fair share of class 31s on LE movements in and out of the depot and on mainline duties on the WCML The highlight for many was the 18.26 from Crewe the Llandudno - Derby service with a pair of 20s this was a very short lived substitution for a 158 scheduled service as I remember correctly (Or Incorrectly). This train was captured on tape on both of these visits. I hope the video takes you back to this period with fond memories. Feel free to comment, good or bad, all comments are read and greatly appreciated, but it is not always possible to answer each individually. Sit back and enjoy this latest production remembering all those now long gone Locomotive classes and other types of traction. Many thanks for all subscriptions and all of those viewers who have kindly shown an interest in my material.
The footage includes trains such as the 18.26 Llandudno to Derby service, which temporarily used Class 20 locomotives. Other locations mentioned include Aviemore, Derby, Hope, and Llandudno. The video provides a nostalgic look at British Railways operations during the early 1990s.
