steam altogether on British Railways on August 11th 1968. The very next day August 12th 1968 she arrived in Norwich en route for Bressingham Steam Museum at Diss in Norfolk.
Restoration began to bring 'her' back to steam in 2004 at the Great Central Railway Centre in Loughborough and on August 10th 2008, 70013 ran on the Network for the first time in 40 years.
