The 1017 Leeds to Glasgow on 12th August 1967, the relief to the 1025 "service" train, and running on summer Saturdays only. The train stopped running two weeks later, and this brought to an end the regular use of these Jubilee class engines on passenger work. I had just turned 15 when I took this shot, and it was one of my better ones from the time! If anybody is interested, there is a short video of mine on Youtube of one of these engines, 45690 Leander, taking the Lickey incline unassisted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZS5Udg4jkk
