More newspapers and mail for the suburbs

            33109 stands at London Bridge station with 1n01, the 0310 to Maidstone West combined newspapers and post service.

At the time London Bridge was busy with such traffic through the night, with both class 33s and 73s providing traction.

Until the April 1988 timetable change, the push-pull fitted class 33/1 locomotives were diagramed for the Bournemouth to Weymouth, Waterloo to Yeovil and Reading to Portsmouth weekend services. After that date, with one summer Saturday exception, the locomotives became common user in the wider class 33 fleet. 

In reality, prior to that date class 33/1 did occasionally break out from their booked diagrams, but a sight such as this prior to April 1988 would have been unusual.
