BR Class 50 Hoover
31st December 2005

As soon as the class was introduced on the Preston Glasgow/Edinburgh service I was there at Hest Bank as soon as I heard one from our Caravan I could run to the lineside and view them. My first drag had D410 on from Piccadilly to Stafford in August 1972. To me the last great bashing days were on the Exeter Waterloo's when you could get mileage and 10 different ones in a day.
