Class 101 DMU at Shrewsbury

×

Details

Mechanical DMUs were becoming a bit uncommon in the Shrewsbury area by mid-1987 so I was pleased to take this picture of class 101, set 809 (presumably 53335 + 53319) leaving the town at Sutton Bridge Junction with a Crewe to Swansea service on 25th May of that year.

In 2021 most of the semaphore signals survive but the bracket on the right has lost its low-speed arm controlling the entrance to the down loop as the track was lifted some time ago.
