March 1989

 

Built in March 1962 and originally numbered D6594, No. 33209 was observed in a sorry state in March 1989, at Stewarts Lane. In that month, the locomotive had been involved in a collision at Newington. It was soon scrapped, being broken up in October of the same year. © John Horton

Freshly painted into SpeedLink Distribution livery, we see No. 33205 at Dover Town Yard in 1989. Withdrawn in July 1992, the locomotive spent periods in store at Stewarts Lane, Hither Green, and Old Oak Common. Heavily vandalised, it was scrapped in August 2003 at Barrow Hill. © Wayne Walsh
