Long-term residents 86701 'Orion' and 86401 'Northampton Town' are seen

in Willesden Yard just outside the depot building from a passing Southern service. The orange paintwork of 86701 is beginning to fade a little after it was applied last year in readiness for a Colas/Tesco tie-up to deliver palletised goods into Central London. This eminently sensible proposal came to nothing apart from costing both parties considerably; perhaps they should have tried harder?
