The Way We Were: Departmental Hoovers in 1989

            A tranquil scene deep in The Black Country, as Class 50 No. 50004 'St. Vincent' rumbles over Park Head Viaduct at Netherton with the Wednesday Only Gloucester - Bescot departmental working on 25th April 1989. A convenient 'appointment' in the area meant i could hang round for this train, which in the days before Real Time Trains, meant getting to the location early, and then just waiting with fingers firmly crossed. Not an appropriate duty for a 100moh express locomotive? Copyright Photograph John Whitehouse - all rights reserved
