The last half dozen Class 25s built were all delivered to the Nottingham Division (D16), with D7672 entering traffic on February 25th. That same month, on February 2nd Crewe Works outshopped 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' the last steam locomotive to receive an overhaul at a BR workshop. The occasion was marked by a ceremony attended by the Work's staff and the Mayor of Crewe.
