    During my RAF AATC training at RAF Shawbury in December 1979 I had a day out to Holyhead to see the locos. When I got to the shed there was another bloke there and we managed to open the door far enough to see in and cop them both. I'm still chuffed that I managed that. I enjoyed the video very much, thanks. 😀👍

    According to the book 'Allocation History of BR Diesel Shunters' (by Heritage Shunters Trust), the two class 01s were on loan from British Rail to William Wild & Sons Ltd when they were based at Holyhead By coincidence, I was watching a UA-cam video this morning of somebody walking the full length of the Holyhead Breakwater in its current form when I came across this video (all evidence that the railway ever existed seems to have disappeared)

    How can they be renumbered in 1948 if they were built in 1956? Your numbering of the first two sounds like bender (futurama) reciting one of his binary strings😊

      Robot voice, in combination with a script that is more intended to be read than to be read out. There's only so many times you can hear 'zero one zero zero two' before it becomes grating.

    • @Britishrailwaysthenandnow
      @Britishrailwaysthenandnow 4 місяці тому

      My mistake, just checked my research. They were renumbered during 1968. I will get the video re-edited in coming days. Thanks for watching and pointing this out, appreciated.
