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.
Further details if required on request
