North Eastern Region Traffic Survey 6th August 1960

Description

An ambitious survey covering almost the entire North Eastern region, it was a little late to record all-steam workings.  Almost all the passenger services, other than the main line, were by then worked by multiple units, and the steam locomotives which previously worked these trains were rapidly disappearing. The Class A.5. tanks were no longer to be found in the area, and, before the survey was carried out, the last survivors of Class A.8 were withdrawn. Nonetheless, an interesting snapshot of the transition in traction.  Type-written.
