24135, 24089 & D1001, scrap-line, Swindon Works 
 Swindon Works did not only deal with West Country engines. Here, 24135 and 24089 await cutting up. They were withdrawn in January 1976 following colliding with each other at Bidston Dock on Merseyside on 16.12.75. If the class 24s had not been on-notice, it is likely that these two would have gone to Crewe and have repairs authorised. D1001 'Western Pathfinder' is seen in the background.
