95203 . Ipswich Station . 15th-April-1988 .
To Increase the speed of the Overnight Newspaper Trains a Number of BGs were modified for use on these Trains . They were Dual-Braked and Re-Bogied to allow for 75 mph running ,also they were fitted with ''electric heating '' as more and more locomotives had their boilers removed etc.
E95203 , a modified example sits in the sidings at Ipswich station during the day 15th April-1988 . Later that afternoon it will be attached into the Norwich to Thornton's Field up News empties prior to its visit to East Anglia again the next day !
The Commonwealth Bogies show up well in this shot of E95206 . Which before its modifications was E80561
