Sunday sequence at Crewe - 2. It is a Sunday
afternoon at Crewe in the early 1970s and then, as now, engineering works require the use of diesels to drag electrically-powered trains over diversionary routes. This was a weekend when all West Coast expresses were diverted via Cannock and Walsall so Brush Type 4 Class 47 number 1956 has coupled up to AL6 Class 86 number E3176 to haul the loco and train , seen on the previous page, as far as Birmingham.Keywords: Digital, Rights Managed, Stock
