156470_1308_Beeston - a photo on Flickriver

            At the end of July and through August 2013 Nottingham station area was closed for remodelling and resignalling and for a number of services Beeston became the terminal destination. To the east of Beeston, on the Down side, units were stabled between duties and 156470 can be seen here on the 18th August 2013. The photograph is taken from “Boots Bridge” built in 1931 to replace a level crossing and on the right can be seen some of the new signals using LED style signal heads which give a far brighter aspect. To the left is what remains of the Down side sidings which originally were the site of the Midland Railway Beeston Creosote works, built in 1880 for “pickling” railway sleepers. When this closed in the 1960’s the Nottingham Freightliner Terminal was built on the site which opened in 1969 and closed in 1988. The freightliner buildings and west end of the site are still in use by Signalling Solutions whilst the east end is used for the assembly of new switch and crossings layouts which are then broken down into modular units, loaded onto the “tilting” wagons seen in the yard and then dispatched to the junction to be renewed. The purpose of the “tilting” wagon is to allow larger modular units making maximum use of the loading gauge.

Unit History
156470 was built in 1989 and delivered to Cardiff Canton for Cardiff – Portsmouth/Brighton duties. By January 1990 it had moved to Norwich for East Anglia – Birmingham/Liverpool duties. Its stay at Norwich was equally short as by July 1990 it had migrated to Haymarket for Scotrail duties and by January 1991 it was at Neville Hill for West Yorkshire duties where it settled down for a long stay before moving over the Pennines to Newton Heath. For a period around 1992 156470 was split with 52470 being formed into 156438 and 57470 being formed into 156462 to form two, three car sets. At the end of 2011 there was a shuffle of DMU’s between Train Operating Companies and East Midlands Trains gained four class 156 units (156470/73/97/98) from Northern Trains. 156470 arrived at Etches Park in October 2011 and entered service with East Midlands Trains shortly afterwards.
