18B Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi, the excellent "Shed by Shed" books (part 8) lists the following shunters 08577/82/633/806/813/995 and two Class 09s 09106 and 09204 as being allocated to Thornaby as at 1998 (where the book ends) has anyone any ideas when these left Thornaby and specifically when the last one did? I presume no other locos were allocated, especially mainline ones after this time up to closure? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waveydavey Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I was a driver at Thornaby between 2000 and 2009 and we had an allocation of 08s all through this period. It became EWS policy to rotate shunters around the country as overhauls and repairs were required so no individual loco hung around for long. As I was being made redundant in 2009 it was announced that no further shunting would be done at Tees and all the driver operators were made redundant too. I believe that any shunting after this time would have been done with the train loco. Two derelict 08s were in a siding in Tees Yard until recently but they have now gone for scrap.

Paragon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I don't condone the practice of trespassing, but a quick scan of some urban exploration websites shows some 08/09s presumably stored unserviceable at Thornaby TMD after closure (ca. 2010) , the site in question is www.28dayslater.co.uk so I'd guess some would have ended there days there and gone off to the cutting torches, I think some 56s did also.
