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

An amazing place. Exhibited there a few times at open days. Thanks for putting it on.😊

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

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 😢

The world's greatest railway works, ruined by foreigner's..................................................😞😞😞😞

crewe works to live on
