By the time I had reached the depot again from

my visit to the bank, 44008 had disappeared and I was not at all sure where it had gone so I gambled on it being refuelled. I donned my orange tabard again and went in search. Low and behold, I found it at the fuelling point in the company of 47347. 44008 received its smart white roof, stripes and tyres earlier in 1979. It was administered by the staff at Toton and became a firm favourite with enthusiasts and organisers of open days alike. Notice the well turned out driver complete with BR issue cap about to climb into the cab of the Peak.
