172332, 13.16 Ilford EMUD-Tyseley LMD (5Q66, 80E), Victoria bridge It's come to a poor situation that a unit has to travel from its base in the West Midlands to have its wheels turned on a lathe in Essex! This is exactly what West Midlands Trains' 172332 has just had done returning as the 5Q66 13.16 Ilford to Tyseley. It is seen on the down fast line just south of Roade in Northamptonshire. I stand to be corrected but I believe that Ilford depot has one of the only suitable wheel lathes in the country meaning that it has a steady flow of work involving a lot of comings and goings. Could you imagine that in BR days? Keywords: 172332 13.16 Ilford EMUD-Tyseley LMD 5Q66 Victoria bridge West Midlands Trains West Midlands Railway
