Noooooooo, not 'City of Truro'?! There was me thinking it led an uneventful life! This remarkable survivor - it was withdrawn 4/3/04 with nothing more serious than dragging brakes until resurrected by Colas 4/4/07, for an anticipated further 6 years' service (now 16 and counting) - still retains both former headcode panel recesses but this must have been a close shave for No 2 end, and this side also by the looks of it. I think it acquired the orange warning stripe in 1987 and was outshopped in unbranded Mainline livery around autumn 1988, presumably following repair to damage it sustained in this incident (which should help date this view) but shorn of the nameplates it had carried since 8/6/65. It became 'Atlantic College', 'Resplendent' (as 47749) and 'Demelza' before reacquiring its original name in 2016. 

As a former Truro area resident who can scarcely believe the original D1660 is still alive and kicking, I say long may its charmed existence continue!
