I recall it being in ordinary service on the Bakerloo - went on it with my Dad - we rode all the way to Queens Park and back to Baker Street from Waterloo.

It shows plenty of 38s and one going to the Croxley Green depot. The colour photography is excellent for the time. |

I have found a picture of the starlight Express Stored at London road depot in 1985, along side a 59ts. The railway press came up with nothing by the way, still looking for info.

Thanks for your post 10291 is now 127, 483 007* is the number of that train. But, I don't think that the 483s have their carraige numbers on, now they are in LT livery, they have their LT numbers. * It never had 483 on it, just 007. |
