Up London, August 87

Up London Saturday August 8th 1987

From a time when a trip to the capital could see a fair variety of loco action in a variety of liveries and duties. Thanks to the late Tony Ewer for the gen and photos

Whilst a 31 shunts an engineers train in the yard, the main event is 87101 arriving with possibly the 1040 Euston – Wolves

With a botched looking front end yellow cab 313002 and 313003 arrive at Watford with a “DC” service from Euston

86220 looking very smart passes Stratford with the 1230 Liverpool St – Norwich

Stratford pet 08833 stabled in her usual location at Liverpool St

86233 with newspaper empties with a few spotters looking on at Liverpool St

86244 at Liverpool St with the 1330 Norwich

Real, 308145 at Liverpool St with the 1338 to Bishops Stortford

Platform 12 at Waterloo sees 33114 on Exeter emcars

I’m suprised Tony flagged these, he loved his “Hanktons”, 33028 and 33110 leave Waterloo with the 1410 Salisbury possibly 33028 running in ex works overhaul

47318 with an Acton bound rake of ARC hoppers at Clapham Jn

73128 passes Clapham Jn with the 1435 Gatwick – Victoria

47200 with Newspaper empties at the Kings X blocks

47122 at St Pancras with a van train

87021 at Euston with the 1930 to Manchester, Tony’s Cobbler stock home is behind the “seven”
