Now reduced to a shadow of it's former self due to privatisation, foreign ownership and TOC's/Leasing companies being allowed to buy foreign tat ! ! ! An utter disgrace 😢

It’s a shame they knocked the works down it would’ve made a fantastic museum piece showing people what Crewe was famous for

Cracking video, thanks for posting. Great views of the “Fab” Shop, Fabrication Shop, as was, now Bogie Shop. Entered the Fab Shop April 63, after 4 months as Steel Foundry office boy, and 12 months in the Training School, now Crewe IEMD, operated by DB Cargo UK. 👍

No problem I thought it’d be nice to do as it’s the 180th anniversary of Crewe works which is either soon or already passed
