Excellent video, pity we can't have the same loco variety today as we did in 1992.
Unfortunately Crewe today is just a shadow of it's former glory days, thanks for sharing, cheers...Bill

Lovely atmospheric cold dark English winter's evening. Great memories.

OMG did I see an old 87 at 7:27? 😃This reminds me of Clapham Junction! I worked for 5 years for SWT as an engineer and we had to go to prep train sets at Clapham. Sadly in the years i was there the trains had reached ‘BORING’ status all the ‘old classics’ were long gone just those crappy ‘yingers’ and other awful foreign locos😡 Occasionally we MIGHT see the station pilot a very battered old growler! How I would have loved to have worked there in the 70’s/ 80’s to see quality BRITISH rolling stock🤷🏼‍♂️😢🇬🇧👍🏻

wow. Crewe was really derelict back then...
... oh wait.

Passed through Crewe station on the way to / from the Battle of Nantwich in January. First visit in 30 years, the station looked the same as it did then! I expect major changes coming with HS2 though...

Nostalgia overload! The familiar whine of those 86/7's take me back to my 5 year old self standing at the end of Liverpool Lime Street with my dad. Fantastic video, thanks for uploading it.

The MK2 in Trans-Pennine livery is an interesting departmental.

[@DavidFrankal]

I actually saw one old Deltic in British Rail livery at Crewe. I thought "Shouldn't that be in the heritage centre next door?"

thank you john for sharing this video with me I can be seen at 5:28 mins but in 1992 there was loads of freight and loco variety from james freeman in oxford now

[@Panarail]

I never considered back then that people would see themselves on my video's. I find it kind of nice when it happens though, Thanks James :o)

[@888ssss]

Back then I didnt have many £50's. but today, some 30 years later I am pleased to inform everyone here that I now have lot's of £50's.

[@AdrianBarton]

I remember going to Crewe and the works a few times back in early 70's. It was pure joy for a young trainspotter.

"Where have all the shunters gone.... far, far away!"

[@fabshop6359]

Cracking video, brings back great memories.

[@Paul21021]

31285 is still alive

[@flymajj]

What would the 47973 working have been?

[@flalingbashers2957]

Excellent video John

[@kevatcrewe]

Stunning, thank you so much for posting this!

[@interestingrailwaysuk5703]

Great video!

[@Class43Harrison]

Nice. Memories....

[@RIGalleries]

Brings back many happy memories, does this video :-) It's just a shame I met my missus after most of it had been consigned to history - she'd have loved the variety, with plenty to photograph.

[@Panarail]

47513 was scrapped in Rotherham, May 2004.

[@thehoff1982]

[@matthewlamb3856]

Wicked vid

[@Slothdeman]

[@ryanforbes6782]

they didn't exist then I think😮😮

[@ianrogers9518]

[@kevingraham2733]

Not built then, this was when it was a proper railway

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

and as of today the voyagers and the pendolinos are now running here at Crewe as of 2018 mate

[@matthewlamb3856]

What a waste
