47581 Great Eastern has the road away from Ely, the mechanical signaling in the area was in its death throes with much rationalisation already having taken place. No idea what the working was but having had 86233 south from Norwich to Ipswich that morning we seem to have come across the Duff and jumped on to here where we bailed for a few shots prior to downgrading to 156414 to Peterborough

Memories of the fine art of Vac bashing
Between 1983 and 1991 I spent many, many happy hours with my friends riding the rails behind the mighty 'Hoovers' or Class 50s. As well as enjoying the thrash, I managed to record many of the trips and railway scenes encountered on film for posterity. Those days are now long gone, but happily the photos remain for me to reminisce over and share ;)
Seen in the original version of Network SouthEast (NSE) livery, with the attractive white windows, 50034 'Furious' arrives at Leamington Spa on the morning 1M20 Paddington - New Street service. I was none too pleased as this was the one Vac that I didn't want for any more mileage!
For some reason '34 was my least favourite Class 50 - it seemed to follow me everywhere. The locomotive never made it into preservation, and was cut up in 1991 by Coopers Metals at Old Oak Common shed.

50034 'Furious' was a relatively early casualty, becoming the fifteenth Class 50 to be withdrawn, on 04 June 1990 after 22 years of service. The locomotive languished at Old Oak Common for a while, before being broken up on site by Coopers Metals in 1991 - one of eleven Class 50s to end their days on Old Oak Common shed.

Commuters stream towards the car park at Didcot as 50 034 Furious prepares to depart with 1C67, the 1825 Paddington - Bristol Temple Meads.

Also 50 023 Howe had worked the same service the previous night which was reported as vice an HST
