An open day has been announced at the former Crewe diesel depot, now the operational base for Locomotive Services Ltd, for 8th June 2019. Intercity liveried 91119 is expected to attend, and one of the other star attractions will be...one of Northern's class 142 Pacers.
Joking aside, the list of steam, diesel and electric exhibits is extensive, and this seems like one of the most comprehensive depot open days in recent years, along with the Old Oak Common event.
Details of exhibits and ticket prices can be found below:

I suppose it does give an appropriate send off for the long-lived bane of Northern commuters existences, and I wonder if the opportunity will be taken to revinyl the unit in original livery for its last months in service?Class 91 locomotive to visit Crewe Diesel Depot open day
