Blue Era at Crewe Station 1975

A short 8mm film of blue era electrics and diesels at Crewe probably in 1975. Unfortunately the colour is rather washed out after all this time.

Fascinating snapshot. What is the music Mike?

The music is nothing more than a free one that came with the editing software.

Hi matey, I live in Crewe and find your vid incredibly interesting ......wold date it more like 1979 or later though ...also doesn't it look strange on the old 'downside' with the canopy still in situ !!

Thanks for your comment. You may well be right, the date is probably later in 1970s.

Jeez that was the year I started on the railways after leaving school. Did a few months as a box lad at crewe north box then worked south box with the Murray brothers till I was 18 then went to saltley traction depot to get on the footplate. Thanks for the memories even though I couldn't understand spotters back then
