of Roade 57311 leads the 05.33 Crewe HS to Southall LSL empty stock move. The sock was to be used later in the day on the Blue Peter Demonstration Train from King's Cross to York. This is my first photograph of 57311 (formally named 'Thunderbird') since its repaint into the smart-lined black livery.
