I would guess that it would have been in early summer 1967 that the last steam worked along the erewash as thats when Westhouses depot closed to steam, Colwick having closed in dec 66. Certainly well before the actual end of Steam on BR in August 1968 as by the start of that year all the remaining steam locos were in the North west.
I dont incidentally count the run of Oliver Cromwell in June 1968 or the movement of 75029and 92203 to preservation in April 68 as 'proper' workings.
I remember that subway too and being really disappointed when it was blocked up although Im a bit younger than you and not old enough to escape the parental leash in those days.
