82003, 84006, 84008, 84005 & 84007, awaiting attention, Crewe Works A number of AC electrics await their fate at Crewe Works. Unfortunately, I suspect that these locomotives are awaiting an appointment with the scrap man rather than a visit to the paint shop. Of the five locomotives seen here only 82003 was still in service awaiting attention as it was not withdrawn until 1983. As for the rest, 84006 had been withdrawn for twenty months and had just two months before cutting a short distance away at Gresty Bridge. 84008 had a month before official withdrawal so I suspect that it was here to stay until that date. 84005 had been withdrawn since April 1977 but was not moved and cut up at Long Marston until March 1985. Finally, 84007, at the back on the left, had been withdrawn a staggering two and a half years by this time, witness its very faded yellow front end.
