Ex-LMS 5XP 4-6-0 Jubilee class No 5742 is seen just after nationalisation of the railways at the East end of Platform 3 whilst at the head of a Euston express. Built at Crewe works in December 1936 No 5742 was a number of Jubilees that were given the double chimney to aid steaming. Whilst deemed to be a success it was not adopted across the class because of the modernisation plan of British Railways which would result in the rapid diesilisation of the network. However, No 5742 was to remain in service for another sixteen or so years being withdrawn in May 1965 from Kingmoor shed in Carlisle to be scrapped in August 1965 by the Motherwell Machinery & Scrap Company of Inshaw Works.
