    On this day in History - Day Trip to London – 2nd January 1971

    In the mid 1960’s it was decided to concentrate all of the London Midland Region overnight sleeper services on Euston. This meant that the St Pancras – Nottingham – Leeds – Glasgow sleeper became the Euston - Nottingham – Leeds – Glasgow sleeper. The route taken between Euston and Nottingham was West Coast Main Line to Northampton, then the freight only line from Northampton to Market Harborough and then the Midland Main Line to Nottingham. This lasted until the early 1970’s when the sleeper service was cut back to start/terminate at Nottingham. A by-product of this was the ability in this period to use the seating accommodation of the Up service for a trip from Nottingham to London via the WCML, thus on the early morning of the 2nd January 1971 I board the train at Nottingham for the ride to Northampton behind D1686 where we change engines for E3126 for the run up to Euston. This is what I saw that morning on the run to Euston: class 08 (3024, 3228, 3776), class 25 (5218/47, 7531/32/36/57/58/99), class 37 (6720), class 40 (244), class 45 (16/45/96), class 46 (147), class 47 (1590, 1626/86, 1724, 1837, 1932), class 81 (E3012/15/16/22), class 82 (E3047/48/54), class 85 (E3063/64/66/77), class 86 (E3103/10/19/25/26/27/38/41/49/62/71/76/89/90). On arrival in London it was over to Waterloo for a hour with the following observed; class 09 (4104), class 42 (823), class 73 (E6025) and back to Kings Cross to see the following: class 31 (5593/95, 5606/26/42), class 47 (1503/17/19/20/35), class 55 (9008/10/16). The run back from St Pancras to Nottingham produced the following: class 08 (3022, 3304, 3575), class 25 (5215/25/32/50, 7550), class 45 (36/51/68/93/97, 102/27), class 47 (1634).

    Of note is 823 at Waterloo which would not last the year as it was withdrawn in October 1971.

    A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome

    On This Day in History – Nottingham/Toton – 28th January 1973

    On this day thirty seven years ago it was out with the push bike for a twenty four mile round trip to Nottingham and on to Toton for a “bunk” round the shed.

    Nottingham:
    Class 08 (3036, 3175, 3340/90, 3777), class 20 (8006/14/39/44, 8136/48/58/61/73/81/82/85), class 25 (5224/49, 7619), class 45 (12), class 46 (165), class 47 (1825/54).

    Toton (16A):
    Class 08 (3021/29/39/44, 3345/62/63, 3400/02, 3505, 3788/89, 3997), class 20 (8012/15/37/59/71/76, 8111/15/40/45/52/60/62/64/66/72/74/77/95/96/99), class 25 (5237/83, 7539/67, 7606), class 31 (5601, 5853), class 37 (6713, 6942), class 44 (1/3/4/5), class 45 (40/63/68/73/76/77/81/86/94, 102/03/05/14/22/30), class 47 (1631/97, 1710, 1808/10/24/32/34/39, 1960).

    A total of twenty four locomotives stabled at Nottingham and seventy two locomotives present at Toton. Of note is the fact that the sidings around Nottingham could support at this time five class 08 pilots out-stationed from Toton (two at the Central Materials depot, one at Wilford Road yard, one carriage pilot and one spare)

    A number of the above were photographed later in life and can be found in this collection. As always feedback and comments welcome
