Reddish Shed

The first BR locomotives to be renumbered under the TOPS scheme were some Class 76 Woodhead electrics. This view at Reddish Depot in 1971 shows E26001, newly renumbered 76037 and also Class 40 221, the former Ivernia. Everything in this scene is now gone with Reddish Depot finally closing in 1983 following which the site was cleared for housing.
