Or was it momentary distants, a possibility since we were badly checked at Bletchley. 45634 was sporting a Bushbury (3B) shedplate, although she was not one of the regulars. It was probably a temporary allocation from Crewe (5A), her normal home. ----------------------------------------------------- Steam from Euston to Birmingham Steam 1954-1967 Archives Page
