45131 strikes a pose as it takes the camber of the track in its stride arriving at St. Albans station leading the 09.40 Sheffield to St. Pancras service. The electric heat Peaks (451XX) soldiered on for a number of years working hard on the MML even after the HSTs had been introduced in 1982. 43131 was withdrawn in September 1986 ending its days at Vic Berry's yard during August 1988.
