anroar53 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Keep it coming chaps this is all great stuff about this otherwise ignored stabling point. Kevin D138 21.09.68 Sunday 15.07.73 132 copying the Westerns in their last years. In this case a co-incidence as it is about to 'ring off' shed for 1M32, the 0815 St. Pancras to Manchester Piccadilly. Cambridge Street started off in mid 1961, with about half the Loco Crews from nearby Kentish Town 14B transferring down the road to Cambridge Street in 1962.(My father being one of them). Kentish Town finally closed the following year in 1963 with the remaining crews transferring to Cambridge Street or Cricklewood. Although he transferred to Cambridge Street he still ended up on a few steam turns. The penultimate was in 1964 on a Railtour to Burton-on-Trent with Merchant Navy 35003 Royal Mail. (A type he had never been on before). https://www.flickr.com/photos/93456400@N04/14794533650/in/faves-8888017@N08/ An oil painting based on a picture of this working emerging from Elstree tunnel now hangs in my hall. His last steam working a few months later was with Standard 5 73066 which was on a Dover-Manchester working from Cricklewood to Manchester Central over the peak via Matlock.

18B Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) For plans, on shed lists and details of Cambridge Street, see issue two of On Shed Issue two of On Shed is still available through Kelsey's Website and strangely I noticed the other day (24.2.20) that Manchester Piccadilly WH Smith had a wedge of them in their railway section.
