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 😢

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. 👍
Ruined by greedy firms OUTSOURCING work to cheaper labour Blame British mismanagement not foreign workers All this happened under the misrule of the great patriot Thatcher.

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