Andania and the Gronk
Class 40, 40 013 / D213 "Andania" - currently undergoing repairs at Crewe Diesel Depot - is shunted into position by ex-EWS Class 08, 08 737.
Locomotive Services Limited (LSL) signed a three-year contract in early 2018 with the private owners of 40013 to exclusively operate it for 3 years as part of their heritage diesel / charter fleet.
08737 has been a northwest resident for many years and latterly served time as the depot pilot at Crewe ETD. It was then withdrawn and sold to LSL where it remained stored until it was brought back into use late in 2018. (Thanks to Chris McC for the additional info.)
