Busier Than Usual On Platform 12
Day N - 1Z27 19:45 Acton Lane Reception Sidings GB Railfreight to Mossend Up Yard
With 86 101 having whizzed off the stock and back to its home at Crewe Diesel Depot, GB Railfreight Class 92, 92032 "IMechE Railway Division" - having come of the ETD - takes its place on the front of the GBRf 2021 charity railtour as far as Mossend.
The north end of Platform 12 at Crewe was somewhat busier than when I'm usually there (on my own!) to see the 92s on 1S25.
This is part of my selection of photos from the GBRf Charity Railtours 2021 "This Time it's Personal" four-day railtour, which I was on throughout. The tour was raising money for Prostate Cancer UK, a disease that one of the three main organisers has been impacted by and hence the reason for the tour and its strapline.
This was also quite personal for me as my Dad has battled prostate cancer and his father (my grandfather) died of the disease before I was born.
Despite the well-documented challenges, this was an excellent tour with a significant sum raised for the charity. It was also announced at the end that it would be the last multi-day GBRf Charity Railtours escapade in this format for understandable personal reasons impacting the key organisers.
