Someone else {WNXX forum I think} said the crane was turned back as not required?

Has NR ever considered asking a private firm to man its Breakdown gang? I'm thinking Arlington Fleet services at Eastleigh.

Good point about all the depots closing. Don't forget, Privatisation was our saviour from that evil company known as British Rail :o . What did they know about running a railway anyway? ;)

David,

Thanks for the offer. I can adjust the pictures but trust me, they are pretty rubbish. They were taken from a passing train with a very basic camera.

It's turning into a nightmare uploading these photos, not worth it for how poor they are. Old Oak's train is definitely in attendance and i presume the crane went with it?

Just found my two pictures, i can't upload them directly so i'll do it via photobucket tomorrow. They are pretty rubbish but they show a big yellow crane with telescopic jib at one end of the tandem lift to right the fallen crane.
