Does anyone know why there is a EWS loco (67.002 "Special Delivery"),
with a class 377 unit (377.116) sandwiched between two barrier
vehicles (DB977943 & DB977942), parked on the through tracks between
platforms 2 and 3 at Clapham Junction? It was there at about 9a.m. this
morning and still there at 3.30 this afternoon.

It must have been my lucky day this morning, since I then managed to
catch the lovely blue 4-CIG (3417) "Gordon Pettitt" from there to
Waterloo, having the privilege of standing in the luggage compartment
(nicely repainted too!)

I took a few photographs at Waterloo, once the train had emptied, and a
buinessman came up behind me and photographed the nameplate, under
which there are details of the unit's history etc., and he as he was
getting out his own mobile 'phone camera commented, "I can't believe
British Rail (sic.) are advertising that their train dates from 1967"!
