In the next few decades, Crewe grew meteorically until it was a household name throughout the country and beyond. With that growth came people from near and far, just as they do today. The railway continues to be a major factor in the town, though in very different ways to those of a century and more ago.

  • 60163 TORNADO New Steam for the Main Line
    60163 TORNADO New Steam for the Main Line Thursday 28th April 2011 Dear fellow covenantor Changes to Tornado’s 2011 tours diary and Brunswick Green unveiling at the National Railway Museum There have been a number of developments since the enclosed edition of The Communication Cord went to press that the Trustees of The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust need to share with you. We regret that it has not been possible to reach an acceptable working arrangement with Train Operating Company West Coast Railways in spite of many attempts over the past three years. Tornado will continue to be operated on the Network Rail main line by DB Schenker, which has worked successfully with the Trust since the locomotive’s completion in 2008. This change is unrelated to the recently completed repairs to Tornado’s boiler which took place at DB Meiningen. Unfortunately, this late change will result in a significant re-working of Tornado’s tours diary for the early part of the summer. As a consequence of not being able to work with West Coast Railways, Tornado will not now be hauling ‘The Cathedrals Express’ on Thursday 26th May (London to Bath & Bristol and return), Saturday 4th June (London King's Cross to York and return) and Saturday 11th June (London to Shrewsbury and return) promoted by Steam Dreams. The promoter will be in contact separately with those of you who originally booked on ‘The White Rose’ and transferred to ‘The Cathedrals Express on 4th June. Although Tornado will be ready for traffic for 26th May, her first main line train in her new Brunswick Green livery will now be ‘The Canterbury Tornado’ on Saturday 18th June from Poole (Tornado from Willesden) to Canterbury and return promoted by Pathfinder.

    THE COMMUNICATION CORD No. 35 Summer 2014 ‘THE Mandy Grant Eddie Bobrowski BORDER RAIDER’ by Huw Parker A period of fine weather allowed Tornado's support crew plenty of opportunity to prepare the engine and coach to a high standard ahead of the run and both looked superb as they sat waiting to take charge of the train as it arrived at Crewe behind the DBS liveried class 90 electric locomotive. Preparation the day before saw the usual bout of frenetic activity cleaning and fully preparing the locomotive for the FTR - Fitness to Run examination. This was undertaken by Colin Green, who conducted a series of functional tests and a full mechanical inspection that ensures the engine meets the required standards to run over Network Rail. With this successfully completed, we were ready! On the day of the run, members of the support crew were again hard at work early to complete the final preparations and hand the locomotive over to the DBS crew who would take us North from Crewe to Carlisle. On this occasion, driver Keith Murfin and fireman Mark Dale under the watchful eye of traction inspector Bob Hart were to tackle the formidable climb northbound over Shap. The route northwards saw some good running despite a brief signal Heading for Carlisle, check at Newton le Willows, arriving a Tornado arrives at Preston few minutes down for the water stop at with ‘The Border Raider’.

  • Preserved Coaching Stock of British Railways Part
    PRESERVED COACHING STOCK OF BRITISH RAILWAYS PART TWO GROUPING DESIGN STOCK Locomotive Hauled Passenger Carrying and Non-Passenger Carrying Coaching Stock built to Grouping Company Designs Peter Hall 7 Barnes Avenue, Dronfield Woodhouse, Dronfield, S18 8YF Telephone 01246-412629 Mobile 078704 50903 email [email protected] INTRODUCTION The intention of this document is to give details of locomotive hauled passenger and non-passenger carrying coaching stock built to Grouping Company designs that can now be considered to be in a preserved or similar status. Thus, not included is coaching stock in regular use on the National Railway network or awaiting disposal or further use having seen use on the National Railway network. Certain items of coaching stock included here could though, see use on the National Railway network on an occasional basis or as part of a heritage train formation. Not included here are the various carriages that have been subsequently sold overseas for further use or preservation Before proceeding further it is worthwhile explaining the ground rules used to decide which vehicles are and are not included within this document. The chronological boundaries for inclusion can be generally stated as carriages constructed by the four grouping companies, Great Western Railway, Southern Railway, London, Midland and Scottish Railway and London and North Eastern Railway and in addition carriages of the Pullman Car Company and Wagon-Lits of the same era, used in Great Britain. However the boundaries have been extended to cover carriages to the grouping company designs produced in the years following nationalisation, until such times as their designs were superseded by British Railways standard designs.
