40181 & 82008, awaiting attention, Crewe Works 40181 sits, unfortunately, in the shade at Crewe Works. This locomotive had spent a lot of time on the works having been there, but for a short break from October 1978 until January 1979 receiving wheelset and classified repairs. Unfortunately, less than two months after being released it was back again after sustaining accident damage! These repairs were completed and it left the works a month after this photograph was taken. I wonder if the glass headcode panel was replaced before it left as it seems to have a very neat hole punched in it? Behind the class 40 is AC electric 82008. This still had another three years in service before withdrawal. It is still with us today preserved at Barrow Hill painted into the InterCity Executive livery and undergoing a protracted mechanical restoration. Keywords: 40181 82008 awaiting attention Crewe Works
