Behind the scenes at Locomotive Services Ltd in Crewe
Locomotive Services Ltd has a uniquely comprehensive collection of locomotives at their main headquarters in what was once Crewe Diesel Depot. We were privileged to have the chance to tour the site and find out more about the incredible work they do preserving such a comprehensive collection of railway assets for future generations, in what they describe as the 'Noah's Ark' of the railway.Owned by Jeremy Hosking, LSL is part of the wider Locomotive Services Group, encompassing well-known brands InterCity, Blue Pullman, Saphos Trains, Statesman Rail and Steam Dreams.And if you need more persuasion to watch, here's a flavour of their locomotive collection that we feature in the film:Class 47 D1924 47810 Crewe Diesel DepotClass 47 D1948 47712 Lady Diana SpencerClass 50 50050 FearlessClass 20 D8118 20118 Saltburn-by-the-SeaClass 20 D8132 20132Class 43 43047 Midland Pullman (Midland Blue Pullman) HSTPeppercorn A2 60532 Blue PeterGresley A4 Pacific 60007 Sir Nigel GresleyClass 45 Peak D67 45118 The Royal Artilleryman5-BEL Brighton BelleClass 55 Deltic D9000 55022 Royal Scots GreyClass 40 D213 40013 AndaniaLMS Royal Scot 4-6-0 46100 Royal ScotGWR King 4-6-0 6024 King Edward IGWR Castle 4-6-0 5029 Nunney CastleClass 121 55022 960014 Flora Bubble CarStanier Black Five 4-6-0 45231 The Sherwood ForesterMembership: If you want to see even more from Green Signals, including exclusive content, become a member and support the channel further too.

Green Signals
Green Signals is a show about railways - its politics, its economics, its people and history. We turn over the issues of the day and talk to the people making the decisions that affect all our lives. We also dig into many of the amazing events in the history of an industry that spans nearly 200 years. Nigel Harris (former Managing Editor and Events Director of the leading industry and opinion forming magazine RAIL) and Richard Bowker (former Chair & CEO of the Strategic Rail Authority) steer the show to make it sometimes controversial, frequently irreverent - but always topical and relevant.
