43027 "Westminster Abbey" at Birmingham New Street on 25/04/87 (my photo)

 

That power car would have been rare at BNS. It and its pair 43026 City of Westminster were allocated to WR internal services at that time, not cross-country.

Ah, good old New Street. Back in February 1978 on a cold Saturday morning, we see a couple of spotters on plat 2/3 glancing over to watch 87028 arriving with the down "Clansman" to Inverness. Meanwhile, 86253, on the left, waits patiently with the 1118 to Euston.
Of course, I should've pressed the shutter either a second earlier or a second later, as the front of the 87 is obscured by one of those pesky signals...
