Andy and I had been waiting around for this particular
cavalcade to make its way past us here at Casey bridge at the southern access to Crewe’s Basford Hall. Running as 0X39 68007 ‘Valiant’ leads 57303, 37407 ‘Blackpool Tower’, 37038 and 37218 into the huge yard complex to make their way to the far north-west side into the DRS depot. The locomotives had run from Eastleigh’s Arlington plant leaving at 09.12 giving fellow enthusiasts plenty of time to post on the various forums keeping the rest of us informed as to its progress.
