    That first one wouldn't of come from brighton with an 87 as not a dual voltage loco, or diesel at that as would of come up via Oxford which at the time the gwr lines out of padington would be diesel only. As it comes up from brighton, past east croydon, under clapham junction to kensington olympia, up to the GWR main line, then up through Reading, Didcot, Oxford, Banbury etc. Every time I used that service it was a class 47. (unless the switched units when it got under the wires).
