33020 at the head of the last 1842 Waterloo - Salisbury sporting a pretty inappropriate headboard thanks to the failure of the booked 33/1. Still, you didn't hear me complaining when the best 33/0 backed on however I was less than impressed with the amount of TTI's lurking though....! 12 May 1989

33053 hideously paired with 37068 on the 1858 Hereford to Waterloo DC tour. The driver rated the 33 so much he ran the locos round each other for the return journey so all we heard all day was the snout! There was only one thing for it - a skinful in the Barrels at Hereford and go find a compo for the return! Pictured here a Pontypool 4 May 1992
