Getting back to the tour, however mundane that might seem, I noticed when photographing the last three trains in Ealing Common (from a passing train, after it was all over that evening) that 7526 also had a green headboard fitted. Presumably that indicates that it was in reserve for the tour if something went wrong with 7007/32. Does anyone have the background on this? Indeed, 7526+7037 was made ready as a spare, vinyls attached to both cab ends, incase a problem arose on 7032+7007 during the morning preparation, this wasn't however needed. |

It can only be one of two cars, 7007 and 7037, as they are the only ones to have sported the "Eastbound" vinyls. The withdrawals list says that unit 7037/17037/8037 (which was the spare for both the last day and the tour) was dispatched to Long Marston on Thursday.

I had a go at checking this with enlarging and a magnifier, and I believe this to be 7037. |
