Locomotive Selection Limited

Every time I take a photo from the footbridge at Crewe station of Locomotive Services Limited's Crewe Diesel Depot there is another variation of Jeremy Hosking's impressive array of traction and rolling stock on display.

 

The offering this time, from left to right (including selected stock highlights) was:
