On the 1.83 mile DMU ride a TTI with much gold braid claimed my Anglia Day Ranger “wasnt valid South of Audley End”. On getting out the rover map which showed Newport the
Southern boundary he was withered, arrogantly stating the “maps wrong”. So the humble basher outwits a TTI!!

A good day on an “Anglian Day Ranger” with winners in 31412, 37036, 47016 and 47135. A good bit of steam heat mileage too, especially behind them growling, snarling 37’s!
Phot spot: April 5th 1983
37259 brings a coal train into Cambridge
47101 arrives at Cambridge with 1P72 1235 Liverpool St – Kings Lynn. As a common Cardiff Canton machine this 47 was ritualistically flagged!
A proper Stratford machine in silver roofed, immaculate 47135 on a late afternoon Cambridge – Liverpool St service.
