25th March 1985 and a Class 101 DMU wends it's way towards Manors with the 12:18 Newcastle to Alnmouth service. One thing for certain it would not be cold inside the 101, I always found they had very powerful heating.
DB Class 66 No.66106 passes Tilehurst,with the Wakefield Europort to Southampton Docks container working,on the 1st of June 2022.
Class 56s stabled outside Knottingley depot on 31st July 1992. The locos were 56094, 56108, 56086 and 56107.
1992 was the last summer in which a large number of coal trains ran between British deep mines and power stations. In October 1992, the industry minister Michael Heseltine announced the immediate closure of 31 collieries out of the 50 or so which were still open. Despite a big political row, most of the pits closed within 12 months and depots such as Knottingley saw their traffic levels collapse.

On the 28th July 2018, Class 45 number 45 149 runs round it's train at the Broadway terminus of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Steam Railway. The crew are busy manoeuvring the vehicle and changing the points, as the signal box for this area is not yet operational. One of the last Class 45's built, it emerged as D135 at BR Crewe works in December 1961.It was withdrawn from service in September 1987 and was lucky enough to be one of 12 to be preserved out of a total build of 127 built. Class 45's were an early and heavy design at 135 tonnes and required the use of a 1Co-Co1 wheel arrangement. Despite this they are capable of 90 mph from the Sulzer 12LDA28-B diesel engine of 2500hp with a total cylinder displacement of 264 litres.

The Class 45 became the main replacement to steam in the 1960's, especially in the Midlands. The were powerful and fast. They did have reliability issues. Even so, the noise these make do send any Diesel Head into a frenzy. This one was working at East Lancashire Railway this Bank Holiday weekend.
