Burtonian 150
50029 - Derby Visitor
50 029 draws into Derby on return from rectification at Doncaster Works on the 1O86 1400/1322 Leeds/Hull - Brighton. A keen enthusiast can be seen already having taken the first drop-light window.
Class 50s were not normally seen on the cross country route through Burton however once Doncaster works became responsible for their refurbishment and overhaul, they would occasionally pop up on a service to and from the WR.
On this particular Saturday I’d took the short ride to Derby for a couple of hours and was amazed to see 50029 on my return train. 26/1/85
