RAIL TOURS AND OPEN DAYS

Pictures in this gallery are of tickets for enthusiast railtours and open days of various sorts, including programmes, brochures and flyers where I have them. These pictures are published for pleasure/information/research purposes only and are not for sale or copy under any circumstances. Information in captions has been researched as thoroughly as possible but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

OPEN DAY - STRATFORD DIESEL DEPOT, 1979 - Stratford was always a difficult depot to bunk because of the amount of wasteland - it was difficult to find anything to hide behind! I did manage it on a number of occasions in the late '60's/early '70's though. This official Open Day was held on July 14th, 1979, and was well attended if this ticket number is anything to go by. The Liverpool Street Pilot usually wore an approximation of GER livery. The Class 31/0's were all on the brink of withdrawal, half of the class having gone already.<br />
