On This Day in History - Lincoln – 31st December 1970

 

At the end of 1970 Lincoln MPD had an allocation of six class 03’s, eight class 08’s and four class 10 diesel shunters making a grand total of eighteen for only nine duties. This was a result of the changes that had been taking place for a number of years previous following the transistion from steam to diesel, reduction in wagon load traffic and local yards and sidings and the introduction of block trains like MGR coal trains and freightliners. The diesel shunter fleet stood at exactly two thousand at the end of 1966 and the basic fact was that from this point in time British Rail could not withdraw the surplus shunting engines fast enough to accomadate the ever decreasing needs. Lincoln’s allocation was as follows

 

Class 03 (2021/22/23/24/25/26), class 08 (3074, 3201/05/77, 3347/87, 3533/44), class 10 (4061/63/65/75)

 

The duties were as follows

 

Duty 23 – Class 08/10 - Trip Lincoln, Bardney, Woodhall, Horncastle

Duty 24 – Class 03 - Trip Holmes yard, Monks Abbey, East yard, Thorpe on the Hill

Duty 25 – Class 08/10 - Pilot Holmes Up and Down yards

Duty 26 – Class 03 - Pilot Holmes yard west end + trip to Bucyrus sidings

Duty 27 – Class 08/10 - Pilot Lincoln Central station

Duty 28 – Class 03 – Pilot Boston yard and trips to Boston Docks

Duty 29 – Class 08/10 – Pilot Spalding yard and trips to Donington Road sidings

Duty 30 – Class 08/10 – Pilot Newark GN yard and trips to Newark Castle yard and Kilvington sidings

Duty 31 – Class 08/10 – Pilot Grantham.

 

A number of the above were photographed later in life, some still allocated to Lincoln and a couple that had been the victims of the reducing needs of Lincoln MPD. As always feedback and comments welcome

On this day in History - Day Trip to London – 2nd January 1971

 

In the mid 1960’s it was decided to concentrate all of the London Midland Region overnight sleeper services on Euston. This meant that the St Pancras – Nottingham – Leeds – Glasgow sleeper became the Euston - Nottingham – Leeds – Glasgow sleeper. The route taken between Euston and Nottingham was West Coast Main Line to Northampton, then the freight only line from Northampton to Market Harborough and then the Midland Main Line to Nottingham. This lasted until the early 1970’s when the sleeper service was cut back to start/terminate at Nottingham. A by-product of this was the ability in this period to use the seating accommodation of the Up service for a trip from Nottingham to London via the WCML, thus on the early morning of the 2nd January 1971 I board the train at Nottingham for the ride to Northampton behind D1686 where we change engines for E3126 for the run up to Euston. This is what I saw that morning on the run to Euston: class 08 (3024, 3228, 3776), class 25 (5218/47, 7531/32/36/57/58/99), class 37 (6720), class 40 (244), class 45 (16/45/96), class 46 (147), class 47 (1590, 1626/86, 1724, 1837, 1932), class 81 (E3012/15/16/22), class 82 (E3047/48/54), class 85 (E3063/64/66/77), class 86 (E3103/10/19/25/26/27/38/41/49/62/71/76/89/90). On arrival in London it was over to Waterloo for a hour with the following observed; class 09 (4104), class 42 (823), class 73 (E6025) and back to Kings Cross to see the following: class 31 (5593/95, 5606/26/42), class 47 (1503/17/19/20/35), class 55 (9008/10/16). The run back from St Pancras to Nottingham produced the following: class 08 (3022, 3304), class 25 (5215/25/32/50, 7550), class 45 (36/51/68/93/97, 102/27), class 47 (1634).

 

Of note is 823 at Waterloo which would not last the year as it was withdrawn in October 1971.

On this Day in History – Southampton, 17th January 1974

 

A day trip from Nottingham to Southampton starts with 45103 to London St Pancras, a quick visit to Kings Cross, tube to Waterloo and EMU to Southampton and then return by the same path with 45109 from St Pancras. On the journey I saw the following:

Class 07 (07002/03/06), class 08 (3273, 3304/06, 3400/61, 3514/87, 3773/76/85, 3864/66, 3909/36/96, 08030, 08845), class 09 (4100, 09021), class 20 (8037, 8148), class 25 (5217/82, 7562/72/95, 7612/20/66), class 31 (5590/92/99, 5602/05/08/15/22/25/42/45/47/50/51/54/93), class 33 (6500/24/28/72/89, 33006/18/21/26/29/34, 33114/18), class 37 (6803), class 40 (294), class 45 (31/45/55/84/98, 100/05/32/35/36, 45003, 45103/09/17), class 46 (144/50/91), class 47 (1514/43, 1684, 1708/10/52/59, 1812/35/43/61/70/84, 1974, 47485), class 55 (9001/10/17), class 73 (E6002/07/15/20/22/30/33/43), class 74 (E6106/10, 74001/05).

Items of interest are the high number of class 31’s (sixteen) at Kings Cross in the two brief visits, class 40, 294 seen at Nottingham and the high number of Eastleigh allocated engines carrying there new numbers compared to any where else.

 

A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection.  As always feedback and comments welcome
