The class 08 shunter has been around for years. It is the diesel shunter. It replaced the steam shunter as it could be turned on or off as the work came and went.

Its numbers have gone down over the years as yards have closed. The block trains of wagons today require little shunting. In years gone by every freight would require breaking up and remaking in each yard be for being sent to smaller goods yards. 08s, would spend all day and night in yards shunting and then take wagons between yards.

One of the 08s at Peterborough would go to all the brick yards around Fletton and Whittlesea taking the empty wagons and then picking up wagons full of bricks right up to the 1980s

Class 08575 above has no logo just its number.

The 08 above is in a small diesel depot which was transferred to EWS on privatisation.

next class 56's here

This small diesel depot is next to and under Spittle road bridge is just to the north of Peterborough railway station. It had replaced the very large New England MPD when that closed, after the end of steam at Peterborough. The class 08s and DMUs and class 31s used around Peterborough had been all been transferred away to the March MPD at Whitemoor.

The next pages have some more of the locomotives at this Depot in the years 2000 till today

This website is Ukrailways1970tilltoday.me.uk it is on railways, but it is not just on trains, but all things railways, with photos, which I have taken from the 1970s till now. I take photos of all things railways, steam diesel and electric trains, signal boxes, wagons any thing that is on the National Rail network, which was BR when I started taken photos.

Today EWS, East Coast, Central trains and EWS are just some of the names on the trains. The name on the train does not mean, thats whos train it is these days. These names keep changing, but that means I have to keep taking photos. I also take photos of preserved railways with steam diesel and electric trains.There is lots more to add and I keep taking More!
