08649 crosses the mainline at Woking on 15 May 1993, en-route from the south to the north yard. A few weeks later this locomotive lost its dull grey departmental livery, and reacquired a coat of BR green paint, along with its pre-TOPS number D3816. It was also named G.H.Stratton. Later in its life it acquired the extremely colourful Rail Services UK blue, white and green colour scheme.
