Looking across the sidings towards New Street station with the scrap yard on the extreme left of the photograph on 19th March 1981. The Class 25, No 25194 is reversing its train into what was a Permanent Way yard. Built as D7544 by Derby works in May 1965, the locomotive was only to last a few more years in service being withdrawn in June 1985 to be scrapped by MC Metals. Geoff wrote that 'Considering I spent most of my school lunch hours here, this poor quality colour slide is the only shot I have of this yard in use'.
