50020 ‘Revenge’ stands forlorn in the scrapyard at Booth’s in Rotherham. With many miles under its belt, a no doubt a flashover or two, its time was almost up. A sad goodbye to what was one of my personal favourites.

Network South East liveried 50030 ‘Repulse’ awaits departure from a quiet Exeter St. David’s, bound for London Waterloo. One of those shots where you can just imagine the English Electric soundtrack. Wonderful days!

50011 ‘Centurion’ occupies the load bank road at Crewe Works. A very sad sight for all Hoover fans, as the loco, if I rightly recall, becomes the first of the class to be officially withdrawn.

One of my favourite 50s, looking stunning in the best livery they ever carried (in my opinion)!
50020 ‘Revenge’ awaits departure from Exeter St. David’s with a service for London Waterloo.
