08164 'Prudence' is seen here at Bury Bolton Street station undertaking station pilot duties. It has shunted the stock removed from the earlier steam services associated with the dining train into platform one for cleaning purposes. When cleaning is complete, the stock will be moved to the carriage sidings. This class 08 is an early example being released from Darlington works in 1956 as 13232 to become D3232 in 1959 taking its TOPS number in 1974. Throughout its working life, it was based in the Hull area before moving to Gateshead from where it was withdrawn in 1986.
