20033 & 40162 awaiting attention, Crewe Works Dominating this photograph at Crewe Works is 40162. It had arrived at the beginning of August for main generator repairs. It remained on the works until February 1980, repairs during this era seemed to take an age. In addition, the work completed did not appear to have been a great success as six-months after release to traffic it was back again with the same malaise! Just poking its nose into the left-hand side of the image is, according to my notes, accident damaged 20033. If this is correct, then this class 20 had been withdrawn since November 1977. It languished on at Crewe Works until January 1980 where it was cut up. However, I am not so sure as contemporary photographs have it cut-up by this time, confirmation anybody?
