    The non multi fitted 860's like 86007 were fairly regular performers on the "Evening Cobblers". Here the driver of 86007 awaits the tip with 1B09 1815 Euston - Northampton on June 21st 1983 NR

    90036 crosses Bridego Bridge nr Ledburn Jn with 1M16 2046 (27/8) Inverness - Euston under gin clear skies early on August 28th 2015. The "Skoda" is named Driver Jack Mills which is poignant here as this is the bridge where the "Great Train Robbery" of 8th August 1963 took place, with the mail bags unloaded here. Driver Jack Mills was coshed which ended his railway career but the national non railway media still tend to glamorise the villains even in 2020.. NR

    Whilst a few 08's can be seen in the London area it is unusual to see and hear these superb engines working. 08441 provides the deep, rumbling acoustics shunting Mk 4's at Bounds Green depot on June 12th 2018 NR

    Excellent Spot its Jed the top man, later in the day he shouted at a few youngsters stupid enough to try getting off a shuttle at Crewe before the 08 shunter had released the stock. happy days NR

    Leighton Buzzard "gronk!" 08629 rumbles back to Bletchley with an engineers train on Sunday October 28th 1984. Bletchley's 08's were occasional visitors on these lightweight turns

    25173 to the annoyance of many sat spare on Bletchley HS on December 14th's 1986 Sunday morning Bletchley - Northampton drags. Many 31's worked but the story goes from a good source that the morning isolation overun and 25173 dragged 1S63 1245 Euston - Glasgow from Bletchley to Hanslope Jn . The 25 had moved as we returned to Leighton around 1400. This would have been the last local WCML class 25 passenger working too but as yet nobody knows for sure.... NR
