25300+095 830814 Bletchley 2210 GC-LE

            A couple of weekends later, on 14th August 1983, the dragging was southbound and via Northampton. 

25300 and 25095 drop off the 2210 Glasgow-Euston Sleepers at Bletchley having taken the train from Rugby. I think the Electric is an 83 but could equally be an 86/0 judging by the cross arm pantograph, as they were common on the overnight sleepers at the time.

Passage in the BG behind the engines was negotiated with the guard as I believe 25300 was much sought after at the time! I indeed need them both.

Remember sleepers on a Saturday Night!
