bescotbeast Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 On my way down to the Old Oak Common open day, I snapped this picture of a Green Class 08 sitting alongside Willesden depot, Could anyone tell me which number it is? I have tried a search of Flickr but drawn a blank. Willesden 1991 by Simon Barnes, on Flickr Thanks Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescotbeast Posted October 12, 2016 Author Share Posted October 12, 2016 I think you Gentleman could be right, reading the info here it appears it was withdrawn in 1990 at Willesden and spent time there before making it's way to the NYMR.
