50049 & 50007, 14.49 Willesden TMD-Leicester LIP (5F69, 30E), site of Roade station
Returning to their Leicester base 50049 ‘Defiance’ leads the 5F69
14.49 Willesden to Leicester LIP working. 50007 ‘Hercules’ is just visible on the rear of the train being towed along for the ride. The working is returning a set of barrier and translator stock following its use in moving units around the network. The GBRf livery really looks smart on these heritage locomotives that I took many images of back in the early ‘80s in the West Country.
