BURY LCOMOTIVE DEPOT (26D) - The 7 Class 77 EM2 electric locos were withdrawn as a class in September 1968, when passenger services ended over the Woodhead route. All 7 were stored at Bury Depot, which by now was used to service EMU's, and in September 1969 the entire class was sold to Nederlandse Spoorwegen, the Dutch State Railway, which withdrew them in 1985. Here we see E27001 ARIADNE, NS 1505, which is now preserved at Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, and E27006 PANDORA which was scrapped in February 1985.
