Class 40 no. 40122 / D200 is pictured at Bethnal Green whilst waiting at a red signal before running in to Liverpool Street
station to work a railtour to York via Norwich on 16 April 1988. Upon arrival at York, the loco was handed over to the National
Railway Museum.
Later the same day, Class 121 single-car unit no. L129 is seen arriving in the bay platform at Greenford with the
shuttle service from Ealing Broadway.
31 465 and 47 582 are seen in the late evening of 24 October 1987 at Paddington. This was a 'Network Day' which provided
unlimited travel within the whole Network SouthEast area of BR for just £6. In addition to the bargain price, some special
traction was laid on in certain places such as the Watford to St Albans branch, where 33 102 and a 4TC unit were employed
for part of the day.
This picture shows 31 296 with an engineers train at Farringdon station on 12 July 1986.
This is one of my earliest slides taken in June 1981. I was still at school and was using a second-hand rangefinder
camera at the time. The picture shows 82 001 and 81 014 at the bufferstops at Euston.
Another picture taken on the same day, this time showing 55 021 at the bufferstops at Kings Cross.
