Class 52s Nos. D1010 Western Campaigner and D1048 Western Lady move off Bath Road depot, Bristol, in readyness to follow the "Western Tribute" railtour on its way from Swansea to Plymouth. These locomotives were standing by in case either D1013 or D1023 were to fail whilst hauling the special train on Saturday 26th February 1977.

 

See this shot in David Hayes's photostream showing the same locomotives, but a little earlier:
