Trslid281 D154 Fleet
Last one for today and we are going to end with a Peak on the Southern again.
The date is Saturday the 8th of July 1967 and location is Fleet. I have no idea as to the workings of Cross Country trains in this area at this time, but class 46 D154 is on the up fast line working the 1E55 Portsmouth to Sheffield service via Kew and Brent (thanks to Mister C below). Can't recall seeing any other photos of Peaks on passenger in this area around this time, but it could have been something regular.
As its a Saturday its unlikely to be a diversion, but it could well be a dated train that is heading for Clapham Junction and then across London to the Eastern. Anyone any ideas?
D154 was new to was new to Derby in February 1962 and a Midland Lines (ML) loco at this time. The loco became 46017 under tops and was finally withdrawn in April 1984 and cut up at Swindon Works in June 1986.
