Description
Direct Rail Services open the doors to their Crewe Gresty Bridge depot for the first time since 2018, with a selection of the company's locomotive fleet on display.

The event had a strong emphasis on DRS's Class 37 fleet, with 4 different heritage liveries lined up on the main depot forecourt, with Regional Railways 37425, Mainline 37419 and BR Large Logo 37401, along with 37218 with her new paint job, with the locomotive now carrying DRS's original company livery.

Some more modern counterparts were also widely present, with DRS 57s, 66s, 68s and 88s all on display. 66422 and 66424 were both presented with new nameplates, dedicated to former DRS colleagues, Max Joule and Driver Paul Scrivens respectively.
