A Railwayman's View - BR Midland Region by Peter Collins > Sheffield > LPPC DSL BW 0940
LPPC DSL BW 0940 Sulzer Class 25 D7601 (renumbered 25251 under TOPS in April, 1974) rests at Sheffield Midland station some time in the early 1970s. Still in BR Green it looks a little forlorn in its shabby condition, yet doesn’t seem out of place. The Class 104 DMU was based at Hull Botanical Gardens at this time, and is too waiting for its next turn. The two spotters are walking down the platform taking notes and seem oblivious to the immediate “danger” they are in due to the unattended trestle ladders ahead of them...... can you imagine the uproar today? The Joseph Rodgers Cutlery Pond Street Works in the background was closed in 1968, but the building remained until 1984 before being demolished for a bus station. Late Summer 1973.
