I'm pretty certain it's him. Wasn't sure if you knew him. He would have been a secondman at tinsley when the picture was taken. Saw him last year at Leeds when I was working tour de France special's and he was working for East coast

Going Dutch today.

There's a few detail differences between the 2 pics of 097, it loses a shed sticker under the data panel and the diamond, but gains an arrow, black headcode boxes and a headlight !

 

Cheers,

Phil.

Indeed it is Russ, last saw him on 55022 a couple of years ago, he now works out of Neville Hill. Think I've a similar photo to this, IIRC 104(?) when it did a S&C pilot job, Russ features on my photo too!

In May 2010(is it really 5 years ago),to celebrate the end of the Cumbrian coast floodex, a group of people formed 12D rail tours, to run a charter" Solway Viking "from Workington to York (all profit went to local charities) ,we had 37059 through out, and may I say, it did a excellent job, here's a few photos of the event

My contribution to the tour, (some ones got to do it) was to man the real ale bar there and back!!!

we run out of beer on the way back, some people blamed me for drinking it, which is not true, i was just testing the quality, (nothing worse than beer that's gone off ) but there were some

(you may know Geordie) who didn't be leave  the pumps were dry!!

Thought i would pop over to Norwich Crown Point on the way home to see what was around. I got lucky to find 37059 on the fuelling point waiting to head out of the depot.

After around 15 minutes of waiting, it finally left the depot and headed back to its resting point opposite Norwich station.
