On this Day in History – Toton 6th December 1970 (Sunday) On this day fifty years ago it was out with the push bike for a eighteen mile round trip to Toton for a “bunk” round the shed. This is what was on shed that day: Class 08 (3021/29/34/58, 3249, 3345/62/63, 3400/02, 3514, 3852, 3996), class 20 (8009/13/42/43/44/47/66/70/71/74/77, 8125/35/36/42/43/57/58/60/62/63/66/67/68/72/73/75/78/83/84/86/87/95), class 25 (5171, 5232/42/45/50/51/52, 7508/15/25/36/56/61, 7605/20/51), class 44 (2/4/5/7/8/10), class 45 (20/46/55/72/85, 103/04/08/18/23/31/35), class 46 (140/47/52/58/62/81), class 47 (1513, 1629/85/94/95, 1802/04/29/46/49, 1964). A total of ninety seven locomotives present. Of note are 1513, one of the original batch of twenty class 47’s which did not often stray from the ECML and the ill fated 7605 which would be destroyed two years later just “down the road” at Lenton South Junction. In this collection are a number of images of locomotives seen that day later in their careers.

Point position is defined in two stages. First is Normal or Reverse, that is then followed by which switch is closed when the points are Normal ie Left Hand Switch Closed (LHSNC) or Right Hand Switch Closed (RHSNC). The switch closed when the points are deemed to be Normal is dependant on the layout and signalling arrangements.

On This Day in History –Manchester/Bury/Crewe 28th November 1970 (Saturday) In 1970 the class 83 and 84 electric locomotives were all taken out of traffic pending an upgrade to there electrical control equipment. Most were stored at Bury and on this November day in 1970 I ventured north from Nottingham to Bury to track down these stored locomotives. Nottingham – Bury: Class 08 (3029/34/37, 3404, 3769/71/73/84, 3860), class 20 (8008/12, 8101/41/92), class 25 (5270/74, 7585), class 31 (5655), class 37 (6718, 6809), class 40 (213, 385), class 44 (2), class 45 (26/75, 108), class 47 (1783/85, 1828, 1900), class 86 (E3158). In store at Bury were: Class 76 (E26000), class 83 (E3024/25/26/27/28/29/30/31/32/35/98/99), class 84 (E3036/37/39/40/41/44/45). This equated to twelve out of fifteen class 83 locomotives and seven out of ten class 84 locomotives. Also present was E26000, the original class 76 dating from 1941 which would be broken up at Crewe in October 1972 Following on from Bury I paid a visit to Reddish MPD: Class 25 (5153, 7548/94), class 40 (226), class 76 (E26002/09/10/17/24/35/40/42/46/56). My journey back from Manchester to Nottingham was via Crewe and produced the following: Class 03 (2386/98), class 08 (3032/33, 3105, 3279, 3585, 3984, 4035, 4143), class 24 (5008/89), class 25 (5203), class 37 (6964), class 40 (274/89/98), class 45 (45), class 46 (141/54), class 47 (1628, 1947), class 50 (405/13/34), class 81 (E3012/20/21/96), class 85 (E3074/81/86), class 86 (E3105/14/16/28/30/32/40/45/48/57/63/68/78/86/89/91). On the journey back to Nottingham I made a visit to Crewe MPD: Class 08 (3801), class 24 (5007/22/32/38/41/60/79, 5142), class 40 (211/29/32/33/43/67, 320/44), class 47 (1540, 1615/18/23/89, 1708/15/45/55, 1808/34, 1943/45/58/60/63), class 50 (406/07/14/15/21/24/26/29/30/31/33/38/43/47/48). Of note are the fifteen class 50’s on Crewe MPD representing 30% of the class. In this collection are a number of images of locomotives seen that day later in there careers.

On the 4th April 1978 one of the most unusual workings of the decade occurred when 33009 left Fawley with a train of empty oil tankers bound for Colwick, a few miles to the east of Nottingham. Class 33’s were common in the mid 1970’s on Fawley – Bromford Bridge (Birmingham) oil trains and one would have expected that 33009 would have been replaced en-route at Washwood Heath by a London Midland Region engine from Saltley. For some reason 33009 was not replaced and sufficient train crew with the relevant traction knowledge and route knowledge were made available for 33009 to continue all the way through to Colwick. On arrival at Colwick it was immediately dispatched light engine back to Birmingham and it is seen here heading west past Nottingham Wilford Road Goods yard. On arrival back in Birmingham it returned to the Southern Region on the 17:21 service from Birmingham New Street to Poole. 33009 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/pics-by-john/24302437830/
