76054 did well to last until 'the end' as a VO/non-MU fitted loco.

Just over a month later the Woodhead route closed, and a fascinating chapter of BR history concluded.

Nothing to show that in six weeks time it will 'all be over' for this stabling point and the MSW electrified route.

How very sad..........

A fine trio at RS, we called in to the Manchester depots on our way to Carlisle to start a week long Scottish railrover.
