During our visit to the breakwater at Holyhead, we were invited by the driver of 01002 to take a cab ride from the depot to the point where they were working. Couldn't resist taking a (poor) picture during the ride ! 31-8-76Previous | Next01002 on the Holyhead breakwater. Introduced in 1956 to Stratford MPD as 11505, the loco was renumbered to D2955 in the early 60's and finally once again to 01002 in June 1974. Had it survived to preservation, the loco would be over 50 years 'old'. 31-8-76
