D333 1961c Stafford

The English Electric �Type 4s� took over haulage of the principal West Coast mainline expresses from 1959 onwards. No.D333 heads �The Caledonian� on the Up Fast as it passes the Bagnall Works. It was introduced in June 1957, running with a then very light loading of just eight coaches enabling it to reach Glasgow in 6 hours 40 minutes. The front of the train is on the junction to the left for the line to Wellington and Shrewsbury which passed between the Bagnall�s erecting shop and the works of the Universal Grinding Wheel Company, and where a �Jinty� can just be seen.
