A Western Region Class 117 set far from its home territory! B437 (51338, 59504 & 51380) leads another unidentified DMU through the remote station at Shippea Hill, in the flat fenland between Ely and Brandon. The date is Saturday 20 September 1986, and I can only assume that this is an unadvertised relief service (remember those?). Presumably heading for Norwich or the Norfolk Coast, the train has obviously come from the Western Region. Had this been a loco hauled train someone would have a record of the working, but as a lot of enthusiasts just ignore DMUs, I don't hold out much hope of an identification, although I look forward to being proved wrong! |
