FMCCS465 D8233 and D8231 Welwyn Garden City.
Don't have a more precise date than February 1968 for this one and the location is Welwyn Garden City thanks to the Gents below.
The class 15's hauling the train of coal wagons are D8233 in green and the one with the double arrows was given as D8231 but I can not make out the number. They were both allocated to Finsbury Park at this time.
D8233 was new to Stratford in August 1960 and withdrawn in February 1969, it then moved into departmental service which happily lead to it now being preserved. D8231 was not so lucky, being withdrawn in March 1971 and cut up at Crewe within a year.
