D8098 passes Thurcaston on 5 March 2000 with the 12:00 Loughborough to Leicester North service. The Great Central Railway's resident Class 20 has carried a range of liveries in preservation. Arriving it BR blue, it then wore green with full yellow ends for the latter half of the 1990s, before being repainted into this green with white roof livery (as the early Class 20s were originally delivered in). Latterly it was repainted into green with small yellow panels.
