Crewe Station 28th September 2014. Engineering Trains + Galatea

On a Sunday, the British Railway Network quietens down and most staff have time off from the hard work in the week. Most of the workings don't run on a Sunday but on Sunday, engineering trains among others run as lines across the UK close for the weekend whilst vital engineering works takes place. Crewe see's these almost every week coming from various destinations. The action from the afternoon is below - Preserved Steam Engine Galatea 46599 is seen in Platform 12 taking on water. We then take a look at various details of this preserved locomotive before we see it departing working 5Z50 to Carnforth Steamtown. The first engineers of the day, Freightliner (Still in DRS livery) 66413 leads repainted 66610 into the UDL, then departs out working 7Y51 Hanslope Jn - Crewe Basford Hall. The second engineers (which I will admit caught me off guard as I was having dinner over on the Salop) but here we see 70014 T&T with 70010 is seen departing the UDL working Morecambe South Jn - Crewe PAD. Here we have a quick shot of two Pendolino's that are a common sight on the WCML. GBRF purple liveried 66723 'Chinook' is seen accelerating on the fasts working the normally 'runs as required' uebrook Sdgs Gbrf to Ironbridge Power Station G via the Potteries. In an unusual move, WCRC 57315 is seen reversing into Platform 12 with ECS stock, then we see it departing giving it some welly working 5Z79 Crewe Down Refuge Siding to Southall Wcr. In the last engineers that passed through the station, DB Schenker 66069 T&T 66051 is seen passing through Platform 12 working Saltney Jn to Crewe Basford Hall. Network Rail liveried 97302 is seen arriving then departing the UDL working Derby - Crewe Gresty Bridge (Drs).
