N86-22SS
Wrexham 26-3-86 Me and Robert had covered most of Warrington area and Liverpool looking for the 4 departmental 40s this day with 97406 (40135) working to Fazakerley and we ended up at Wrexham where 97405(40060) was in the process of running-round a single van as we arrived. We knew nothing of the working at the time but there was a 4J22 22:41 Crewe-Wrexham parcels service which worked forward from Chester as a single van and it had either 97405 or 97407(40012) as motive power for much of March 1986 and some of April (Class 40 Motherlist) I'm presuming there was some light engine working back to Chester at night and then return to Wrexham in the afternoon as this was about 16:00 ish from memory. 97405 has just run-round her lightweight train and is drawing back into the bay platform where the coach will be loaded. At departure time she will reverse out onto the Main and then depart for Chester where the van will be attached to another service for onward movement
