"New" Stock
Some of the 15 ex-Caledonian Sleeper Mk3s just after their arrival at Crewe Diesel depot from Wembley. Due to the length of the rake, five of the coaches were shunted into the old mail sidings adjacent to the "Horse Landing" with the remaining 10 stabled in the sidings alongside the depot buildings (as pictured).
Visible are 10565 + 10714 + 10719, with 10513 + 10520 + 10650 + 10648 + 10675 + 10504 + 10688 out of sight round the curve. The five in the old mail sidings (not in this shot) were 10683 + 10519 + 10543 + 10597 + 10529.
Nine of the rake are for LSL for use in their charter fleet once refurbed and upgraded, four for onward transfer to the East Lancs Railway (10529 + 10565 + 10714 + 10719) and the remaining two for volunteer/staff accommodation at Telford Steam Railway (10543) and the Ivatt 10000 Recreation Society based at Wirksworth (10597).
