Leicester LiP Depot - Class 20,27,33,37,47,56,58,91,, 7th October 2019

Leicester LiP Depot Featuring Class 20, 27, 33, 37, 47, 56, 58, 91, on the 7th October 2019...

[@Gwril76]

Probably the best video I've seen from this location. This place is a rail enthusiasts ultimate location. Can't wait to see that 58 up and running. Also the 37s and 91s look rather smart in the euro livery. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@adamsrailway]

The Class 91s look superb in Europhoenix livery. I hope they do that in model form!

[@micky4921]

Superb . Best video of Leicester Depot ever. Used to cycle there most nights from school with my mates in the old steam days when it had a turntable and coal towers.

[@davidswan8162]

Not wasted any time relivering the Class 91's. 17 was in service with LNER on the 13th of last month. Great video mate

[@NGaugeVideo]

Really good to see Leicester Depot back open for business.

[@rbaldock3729]

What a brilliant video, I have watched it 3 times and am just going to watch it again, Thanks.

[@swearingkevo]

Ray Baldock - 😂 thx mate. Glad you like it

[@kevinhruszka1163]

Brilliant footage so many legends together not one peak to be seen what a shame.

[@Meengineer100]

Great shots of the locos at the LIP. It's just so exciting seeing what's there and I hope we will see one of the 37/9s back in traffic soon and also one of those Bones. 58023 is looking especially good! :)

[@peterblood1889]

Memories of Swain Street bridge, the Birdcage and shed 15C, all we need is a video of 38C, although there weren't any video cameras, remember 61008 Kudu and GT3?

[@peterblood1889]

Forgot Halls and 9Fs on the fish trains!

[@daystatesniper01]

Great upload ,spent many a happy day up in the "birdcage" and on the ends of those platforms with 25,45,46,40,etc' trundling by

[@trentvalleyrailwayphotogra856]

Fantastic video. This is probably the best place for trainspotters.

[@westmidlandsrailenthusiast]

Class 58 looks so good!

[@edsutton115]

Fantastic footage. Looks like a heritage line!

[@FM60260]

It looks like they have both 37/9s, I just hope they keep them in working order so they can hopefully be preserved again and not used for parts like 37906.

[@dodgydruid]

Always cheers me to see a Crompton lurking on for'n rails, what were the departmentals at 17:21, the forward one looks like it has a badly done roof, are they ex SR EMU stock perchance converted? I love the old departmentals, used to see the sandite and deicers often parked at Grove Park sheds, I even rode in the square 4SUB set that whizzed around every winter and a few others.

[@gwrjnr9151]

37510 I think is going for a repaint at Toton

[@JJthrashing]

Cracking video lots shunting going on Diesel heaven TMD ❤

You do get out to plenty of places!! So much variety and good as well.

[@josephmoran231]

Those 91's look fantastic.

[@antman09ful1]

Nice one Kevin, some fine locos there.

[@johne5854]

Great zooming in shots. Can I ask what camera you used.

[@gazclass58]

Great video mate has class 58 moved yet since it's arrival on Leicesters depot the blue one? Need a great photo of the blue class 58 on traffic

[@dwcowie9687]

Thanks

[@timstrainvideos142]

very well filmed!

[@graham76man]

Great video. Presumably the mucky 37 has been withdrawn from service? Near the end of the video was a coach that looked like something had run into it. Was it meant to look like that, or was it just something to do with the camera angle?

[@swearingkevo]

Everything here is to be preserved or is already up and running, and that coach at the end was just the camera angle, thx for viewing

[@Channel-ij5px]

37146 has been allocated to europhoenix so I hope they do something good with it

[@maringarvanovic8011]

So come on. Who else would love to see a 58 in DB cargo red?.

[@suffolkpompey]

Could someone tell me what the purpose is this depot. Is it just used as a dumping ground for stored locos, or is it an actual maintenance depot or what?

[@perthdave100]

It is an actual maintence depot.

[@louisthetravelspotter]

hi there you know the ex London north eastern railway class 91s in the Euro phoenix livery when will they be in service and what route will they be the line near me is the ecml

[@swearingkevo]

louisthetravel and themepark spotter98 - they are going to Bulgaria along with about 20 more in the future

[@SimonTog]

Nice video Kev :)

[@arthurmatthews9321]

Does anyone know what the two tone grey carriage thing is next to the blue 37?

[@dangerousbrian1508]

Its one of the Nightstar generator vans Arthur.

[@huyiii2435]

May i ask the location at leicester you can go to see the 91s

[@swearingkevo]

Jamie d - it’s a side road that runs alongside OR up on the bridge

[@uktrainspottinghub3686]

Is this Depot always in action with rare traction leaving and arriving?? Planning to go there after the Coronavirus Thanks, Archie

[@swearingkevo]

UK Trainspotting Hub - it’s always full of classic traction but not much comes in and out, you got to be lucky to catch it, they do move about in the depot

[@uktrainspottinghub3686]

[@theunknownwarrior632]

What are the class 91s going to be doing in their euro phoenix livery?

[@karlosbricks2413]

It's expected they'll be exported to Eastern Europe, and be regeared there for freight work once they're there.

[@theunknownwarrior632]

It's a shame because they are beautiful locomotives but it is what's best. Like the class 86s and 56s that are in Hungary I guess

[@trentvalleyrailwayphotogra856]

They are going to Bulgaria for freight use along with another 20.

[@GlaringDiamon]

Why has exporting old locos to eastern Europe gotten so popular in the last couple of years?

[@bobmather8814]

What is the item between a 37 & a 58, to the left of the 91s?

[@swearingkevo]

Bob Mather - generator coach I think

[@perthdave100]

Mk3 generator coach that was to be used for the abandoned nightstar sleepers to Europe.

[@bobmather8814]

perthdave100 thanks for that info.

That class 27 in the green undercoat had all it`s bodywork repaired / overhauled by CTMS at Cranmore a couple of years ago..... i understand that the owners money ran out hence still in undercoat paint, mechanically the loco is complete but it`s interior needs putting back together again......... not sure what it`s doing here and who owns it now ?
