Manningtree - August 81

An unidentified named class 47.

Norwich - Sept 83

Loco 40 122 in pre-blue BR livery.

This was arriving with various stock for display at the Crown Point depot open day. Thanks to Alan for this and all the other info on the previous pages.

 

Norwich Area - Sept 83

A class 31 in the foreground. Not too sure where this junction is, but if any one could set me right?

Keith Williams has very kindly provided the following info about this junction.

The Norwich area Sept 83 pic is Thorpe junction, the engine is coming from the London, Ely line into Norwich and the tracks the other way go to Lowestoft, Sheringham and Yarmouth. Crown Point Depot can be seen behind the signalbox. This box is no longer there as Colchester now work Norwich. They work as far as Wymondham on Ely line and just couple miles to wards Whitlingham where Trowse Swingbridge takes over. I think the below pic in Norfolk is Wymondham signalbox with a line going to Dereham which is privately owned.

Norwich Area - Sept 83

A Metro Cammell DMU. Again not too sure where in Norwich, but as above if any one would be good enough to set me straight I would be grateful.

Martin Prime confirms this is Wymondham South Junction. Thanks guys.

Me standing next to a just over a year old EMU 315 803 (Liverpool St - Shenfield inner suburban four-car unit). Notice the fantastic Great Eastern station sign on the right.

Southend Victoria - 12 July 81

Me again by the destination board. I would imagine that it's now been replaced. Is nothing sacred?
