Nice one. I only ever visited new street once. That was back in the early 70's, then it was mainly 85''s, 86''s , DMUs and the odd 47 on the odd cross country working. Interesting see how things had changed over a 10 year period

During that year it was actually a common occurrence!

45106 was the last 45 to operate with BR. Less than a year later, this loco suffered fire damage near Cricklewood, ending its career. Also good to see the 310 that was painted in provincial livery, instead of midline livery, an error at Wolverton works! Also 47238 in distribution livery, which was named "Bescot Yard".

@@theroybowdencollection9807 Yeah, I have all editions of Motive Power Monthly, from 1986-1991, and in one of them, it does mention this repainting. It stated that it was released in provincial livery in error. I have to say, it looked nice in that livery.
