02003 stands outside the east end of Allerton shed. This shot was taken sometime in 1975, and the other three
Class 02s which lasted long enough to be allocated TOPS numbers were dumped in various states of disrepair at
the other end of the depot alongside the access road. I think all four had been withdrawn by this stage, although
the last of them had not long gone. This loco was subsequently sold to LCP at Pensnett, where it carried the name
"Peter" and worked into the early 1990s. It then entered preservation, and is now based at the
Appleby Frodingham Railway Preservation Society in Scunthorpe.
