I suppose a good few of us can remember baby deltics and 31's on commuter trafic out of Moorgate,Kings X and Broad Street. I have a few spotting logs but would like to add a bit more detail to these from local knowledge on this forum. Any info on these trains power, stock, headcodes very welcome, i think there was much variety... I'll end with an amusing Kings X memory from 1970. An up commuter service had stopped short in the terminating suburban platforms at KX. This left one vehicle a non corridor largely beyond the platform edge. A crowd of spotters looked on in amusement from platform 8 as one mini skirted commuter made a very undigified leap onto the ballast!!! cheers Nick, www.leightonlogs.org
