Excellent. I live locally and I’m a lifelong enthusiast so the memories are welcomed. “…Safe in the hands of Adtranz…” - well, no. Several housing developments, a Morrisons supermarket, a cinema and a Pizza Hut testify otherwise. How art the mighty fallen.

I started my apprenticeship at Crewe Works when it was ADTranz after leaving school in 1998 before changing to Bombardier. Great days

Enjoy watching the inside story, I was a driver at Crewe from 1985 and used to go on the works regular to take locos on/off and do test runs to Holyhead . I have some still photos on you tube regarding Crewe Works but mine are of locos been scrapped and views from Eagle Bridge. It was good to see some recognisable steam faces especially Ray Towell with the Duchess of Hamilton who has now sadly passed away always enjoyed his company when working with the N R M collection. It is good to see inside that there are still some dirty jobs to be done, and many clean ones ,but alas it has nearly all gone. Many thanks for sharing this with us.

Nice upload, thank you!

I loved watching this ❣️ I was 3 years old in 1996, maybe I might have even been at that open day toddling around! Ive always been fascinated by my home towns history, something to be proud of!

This is an extremely interesting video and I enjoyed it immensely .

I remember attending this event with a mate of mine, a great day indeed. The Badge of the Royal Tank Regiment is still carried today, on the Tanks as well as the men`s uniform. Brown, Red and Green. Through the Mud and The Blood, to The Green Fields Beyond.

Thanks Ian, very informative

Very interesting video with a lot of steam footage that I for one have not seen before. Some inaccuracies though: as has already being queried, the class 87s were constructed in 1973 and 1974 (perhaps 1975 too). Also, the last steam locomotive built at Crewe was not in 1947. In fact, many of the BR standard classes were built there in the 1950s, the last being a 9F in 1958.

Brilliant upload really enjoyed it but a tip to the Dukes restoration team ,when she is next returned to stem get rid of those brass numbers

Interesting video but shame about the inaccuracies. They start from 3 mins in, - 6207 seen in the old film was of course a Princess Royal class, - not a Princess Coronation.

Crewe works is the best locomotive workshop in the entire country it has done this country proud

“Safe in the hands of Adtranz” Well that didn't age well.

10:18 why the APT was scrapped: the tilt mechanism was faulty, hence the car not tilting.

Imo not any easy documentary to watch. Hurried, full of inaccuracies with too many short scenes. Just my opinion.

An analogy for the whole country really. We were once a Great Britain until the doors were opened.

Nice stuff. But as usual, count the mistakes in narration!

Fascinating, looks like a business in its final years before the work goes abroad though. Hope I'm wrong.

Brilliant

The birthplace of the HST power cars and some of the westerns eg western lady

The APT was designed and built at Derby

Is Henry there? 👀

Excellent steam loco cutting part starts at 11:50.

Sad to see our industrial resource end.What a waste of all that accumulated skill & knowledge . Yes times change, as does requirements and technology, that said our industry & workforce was badly led. As for our political leaders of that time, may they rot in hell.....DA

Freezing workshops, doors open all the time. Loads of shite jobs. Best job is with the brush

NEIN

Looking like Derby Next for the chop, This Country Is Ruined 😡

Iam glad that steam was present it should have been all steam with no deisels crap there at all they spoilt it they should be building steam and only steam locos .
