    On this Day in History – London – 28th February 1970

    A trip to London and a tour around some London Motive Power Depots
    Nottingham – St Pancras – class 08 (3026/44, 3304, 3400/04, 3773/88, 3864), class 25 (5216, 7508/15/16/27/28, 7608), class 45 (23/38/42/47/59/61/68/71/81/88/92, 106/18/23), class 47 (1103, 1637, 1808/56/88).
    Stratford MPD – class 04 (2276), class 08 (3303/09, 3597, 4192), class 11 (12115/27/28/32), class 15 (8207/11/15/18/20/21/25/26/28/29/30), class 20 (8032/55/56), class 31 (5506/11/13/14/16/22/33/53/64/76/94, 5609/32/39/50/53/59), class 37 (6723, 6804/19/31, 6961), class 47 (1523/25/30, 1677, 1759/70, 1833/72/82)
    Old Oak Common MPD – class 08 (3599, 3600/02, 3756, 3936/54/62/65/99, 4000/03/26, 4166), class 22 (6328/32/43), class 31 (5528/35/36/39), class 35 (7005/26/28/29/30/45/46/62/72/98), class 42 (803), class 43 (840/41/48/53/55), class 47 (1585, 1637/39/40/42/56/74/79, 1752, 1864, 1934/65), class 52 (1017/25/33/67)
    Willesden MPD – class 08 (3847), class 25 (5183, 5271, 7534, 7660), class 47 (1849), class 81 (E3004/07/18), class 82 (E3046/48), class 85 (E3056/57/76/92), class 86 (E3104/11/44/54/66/70/73/80/81/95/96/98, E3200)
    Willesden - Euston - class 08 (3015, 3849, 4132), class 25 (5270, 7537), class 81 (E3019/21/97), class 85 (E3058/71/72/81), class 86 (E3105/08/15/31/32/39/46/48/49/59/64/96)
    Kings Cross – class 31 (5596, 5625/43/78), class 47 (1502/03/10/70, 1991/96), class 55 (9000/07/17)
    St Pancras – Nottingham – class 08 (4117), class 45 (51/61/90), class 46 (140), class 47 (1521).

    Locomotives of note are 2276 withdrawn seven months earlier in August 1969, but no broken up until May 1977, 12115 which would last in service for another seven months until withdrawn in October 1970, broken up in July 1972, 12128 which would last in service for another four months until withdrawn in July 1970, broken up in November 1971, 840 and 848 withdrawn in April and March 1969 respectively and both broken up within the next five months. All of the class 15 locomotives seen would be withdrawn en mass one year later in March 1971 with the exception of 8215 which was condemned in December 1970. Also of note is the lack of any class 83/84 locomotives which at this point of time were all being stored awaiting modification. This was also the first time I had seen class 31’s at Old Oak Common which were just being transferred in as replacements for the class 22 locomotives and later the class 35’s.

    A number of the above locomotives were photographed later in their careers and can be seen in this collection.

    Locomotives of note are 2276 withdrawn seven months earlier in August 1969, but no broken up until May 1977, 12115 which would last in service for another seven months until withdrawn in October 1970, broken up in July 1972, 12128 which would last in service for another four months until withdrawn in July 1970, broken up in November 1971, 840 and 848 withdrawn in April and March 1969 respectively and both broken up within the next five months. All of the class 15 locomotives seen would be withdrawn en mass one year later in March 1971 with the exception of 8215 which was condemned in December 1970. Also of note is the lack of any class 83/84 locomotives which at this point of time were all being stored awaiting modification. This was also the first time I had seen class 31’s at Old Oak Common which were just being transferred in as replacements for the class 22 locomotives and later the class 35’s.

    A number of the above locomotives were photographed later in their careers and can be seen in this collection.
