For two weeks during August 1989, two of the three Sprinter diagrams that comprised the Crewe - Derby service went over to loco haulage. Most trains were worked by pairs of Class 20s. 26 different examples were used during the first week alone, with 9 new locos being turned out during the second week. On Tuesday, the 8th of August, all three Sprinter turns were hauled for a time, with 20043 + 20069 to be found working, on at least the 1340 Crewe - Derby & 1511 Derby - Crewe, handing over to 20023 + 20141 which then worked the 1637 Crewe - Derby.

Sunday August the 6th also saw Loco haulage over the Crewe - Derby route, but we have few details of which locos worked which service.  Any help would be appreciated.
