I last visited Wath yard on Sunday 23 July 1961 between 7.15-7.20pm! Shed code at the time was 9G (Sub). A total of 18 26000 electrics were in the yard od which I copped 6. I also copped a lone diesel shunter D 3697 of 41F Mexborough. All I remember is a sunny warm evening and a long line of Bo-Bo Claasss EMI goods electrics. As this was the 13th out of 14 depots visited we didn;t hang around as tiring and a 40 mile ccar journey to base.
Depots visited were - Cowick(92),,Nottingham Midland (29),Annesley(42 including18 9Fs), Langwith Junction(13),Kirkby-in-Ashfield,(8),Stavely(Barrow Hill(26),Stavely(Gt Cent)(14),Sheffield (Darnall)(23),Sheffield(Grimesthorpe)(40),canklow( 7),mexborough(6),
Wath(19), and royston(12). New cops 162 out of 331 seen. Best cop of the day B1 61000 Springbok of doncaster on Cowick.
