Thanks for your local information Bubblewrap. Why I had written a 36A shed code against
Springbok did cause a query in my own mind. Living a mile south of York I couldn't understand why I hadn't seen it before if allocated for a tiime at Doncaster. So it as actually at its longtime home shed when I saw it.

Woodhead shut on 20/7/1981. That is the date that the class 76s stopped running anywhere, except at Reddish depot.
