87006
6th January 2004

87006, City of Glasgow/Glasgow Garden Festival (!)/ George Reynolds... Now, surely someone at Glasgow Council complained when they moved the plates to 90004...

Last Working for a very faded 87006, believed to be 1449 Euston-Glasgow on 26/9/04, returning south on the pictured ECS working. Dragged north by 20308 in a convoy with 37611 and 87028 for a unsuccessful DRS trial, removed from OY storage to return with GBRf Jan 06.

Return of 325s to traffic saw 006 released by GBRf, and then the gen that a return to passenger services was on the cards. A few weeks of test runs and the 13th June saw '006 on 1G21... Stood down with scrap tyres at the end of June, number six made another return in September flying the hauled WCML flag...
