Crewe Works began in the 1840s and expanded to become one of the biggest railway workshops in the world, turning out an impressive range of steam, electric and diesel motive power. This programme traces its history and locomotive designs using rare archive film and photographs. We look closely at its relationship with the LNWR, including the railway’s 8 coupled designs; the changes associated with the formation of the LMS in 1923; a tribute to Crewe South Shed, and much more!
