1961/04/29. 46225 at North Wembley.
1961/04/29. Stanier LMS 'Princess Coronation' class Pacific 46225 DUCHESS OF GLOUCESTER passing North Wembley with an up express.
On the right in the sidings is re-built Bulleid Pacific 34045 OTTERY ST. MARY; it had worked up to Wembley in connection with the 1961 Schools' International between England and Wales played at Wembley Stadium.
Big matches at Wembley such as internationals, cup finals, etc. could create great excitement amongst local spotters, not because of the football, but because of the unusual train workings and, with a bit of luck, a few 'rare cops'!
