LPPC DSL BW 0500 Already attached to a brake-van, 350hp Class 08, resplendent in a new coat of rail blue courtesy of Derby Works and with its revised TOPS number 08925, waits during February/March 1974 to be moved back to its home depot of Springs Branch Wigan. On the left is a Stanier-style LMS Full Brake, its corridor connections having been removed and sealed off. Overhead is the long footbridge used by decades of works staff and occasionally eager trainspotters on open days. Most of this has now completely gone, replaced by a retail park.
