Vi TI at Piccadilly

Vacuum braked Tinsley loco 31279 stands on the blocks at Manchester Piccadilly in the early hours of Saturday 11th September 1982.

The loco had brought in the parcels & newspaper vans for the 1E62 0210 to Cleethorpes and looking at this shot, it must have been shunt released as it worked the train as far as Sheffield, replaced by 31182 to the east coast.

The loco unbelievably, is still in service on the national network operating as 31452 to which it was renumbered (with ETH fitted at Doncaster) in 1984. After privatisation it became part of the Fragonset fleet.
It is currently owned by Devon & Cornwall Railways - 57 years old and counting!
