On arrival at Crewe I saw 47812 Pride of Eastleigh dragging 87001 Royal Scot on the 1P57 to Preston
The electrified West Coast mainline from Crewe - Liverpool and Crewe - Preston are closed on Sundays between 30 September 2002 and 5 January 2003. The last series of 'Drags' using Class 47s has made these Sundays an opportunity not to be missed, so I decided have a trip to Crewe.
