It is unfortunate that The Canterbury Christmas Special tour from Leeds was powered by a pair of West Coast Railway's class 57s. Their livery is pretty drab at the best of times but in dull December weather such as this at Potters Bar it looks even worse! 57316 is a former Virgin Thunderbird that carried the name ' FAB1'. Then, it wore Virgin's bright red livery and branding, quite a contrast to how it looks now!
