20097 is at Crewe for repairs after sustaining accident damage.

The recessed space on the cabside is indicative that it was built as a Scottish Region locomotive with space once containing automatic tablet exchange equipment. The roped up door, chalked message and the strategically placed pallets are making the message abundantly clear to visitors! The class 20 survived in traffic for exactly another ten years having been withdrawn and reinstated in 1981 and 1982 respectively. In the background is 47465 at Crewe for repairs. Behind the 20 is 47405, an Eastern Region locomotive throughout its life. This is a significant member of the class in that it was the first 47 to be withdrawn other than for 'uneconomical repair' reasons. In other words, the first member of this class to be withdrawn as part of BR's planned run-down programme for the class.
