BR Period Locomotives: lnwrbns_br1983

British Railways Type 4 1Co-Co1 D267 is seen arriving at Platform 5 with empty stock to form the 12:10pm to Blackpool Central on a Sunday in 1964. Standing at Platform 6 is another Type 4 class member D125 which had just taken over from D87 an express to Newcastle. The rebuilding of the 'Midland' side created a number of operational problems including the diverting traffic from the West Country via Camp Hill and Gloucester Junction to enter New Street from the East. In this instance, D125 has been coupled up to the opposite end of the train to D87 in order to depart by Worcester Street tunnel.
