92029 "Dante" - Stored in Crewe IEMD

[EnlargedTrain2]

Hi there all,

92029 "Dante", a Railfreight Grey class 92 with EWS "Big Beasties" on the side is in storage in Crewe for quite some time now.

It's recently moved into the shed and has had some new buffers fitted. (Gen sourced from a DB Cargo UK Driver)

Does anyone know the exact date (or to the nearest 6 months) when this locomotive was put into storage?

Thanks in advance.

Some point between 10/2014 and 05/2015 is the closest I can give, I'm sure someone else will give a more concise answer though.

It's definitely after January 2015 as I saw it moving a Tesco modal then. But thanks, that helps narrow it down significantly.

It was stored in April 2015. It's been on the comeback for a couple of years now but other jobs have taken priority hence it's still yet to reappear. It's currently in road 4 of the shed at Crewe IEMD, hopefully getting ever closer to returning to traffic

Cheers for the date

I can guarantee it has new buffers and front piping fitted. This is for sure - surely this represents a return to service is not too far off?
