OTD in 1983, Sunday 5th June.
It's Coalville Depot Open Day, but a quick run to Nottingham behind these two had to be taken first - it would've been rude not to!
(20072 & 075 waiting time at Derby with 1E28, 0856 to Skegness).

0 points for quality but this is the only photo I ever took within the confines of Dunfermline Townhill depot, which wasn't an easy one to get a permit for BITD. Anyway, it was Easter Sunday, 6th April 1980 and 20220 was stabled outside the shed.

46 years ago this morning. And I can hear it now.

Nottingham, 30th August 1983 and the railway is having a bit of a meltdown. 20070 & 143 have been declared a failure & removed from 1E04, the 0937 Derby - Skegness relief, to be replaced by 20084 & 135. Just as a nearby point motor spontaneously combusts...🔥

Porto is where you can also find Class 1400 English Electric diesels, based on our class 20 but with a more powerful version of the 8CSVT engine. Here is 1454 waiting to depart with a Douro valley service, which we travelled on.
