Worcester
Dennis Clarke

I travelled from Watford to Worcester today to get a couple of photos of Class 37s. 37884 had failed there so 37800, in its blue livery, was sent from Derby to haul it back to the RTC. I have great memories of Worcester as I lived there from 1965 until 1969. That is where my Dad got me interested in railways as a young lad, taking me up to Railway Walk which overlooks the the depot, dozens of time. It was mainly diesel hydraulics on the shed and have fond recollections of the Hymeks and Warships at 85A. It is also great to see all the semaphores still there, something that will be greatly missed in Cornwall next year. Regards, Dennis
