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
