Direct Rail Services' Gresty Bridge Depot, as seen from a Shrewsbury to Crewe train on 24 March 2012. The picture shows newly painted EE Type 3 No. 37259, which had just been reinstated after a period in store, along with DRS Class 66 No. 66431, a Northern Belle liveried Class 47 and a Class 20. The train was held here at a signal for some time and the conductor announced that the delay was due to 'trains going in and out of Crewe station', which was probably all we passengers needed to know.
