I think that I've posted this once before but here is a view of her "on shed" with a fellow Southern exile - Shades of 70A, 29/12/95.[ATTACH] Peter
You do not have to do the whole tour - you can join at Reading at a reasonable 08.30ish and alight there at 21.30ish on the way home. Thats only a...
No, you were right about it being a Class 73. The Class 74s were an electro-diesel conversion from the 1958 built Class 71 electric locos with, I...
