Class 24 D5053

Description

Providing a welcome variation to the standard but somewhat plain green livery, a small batch of six locomotives were repainted with the mid-level Sherwood green band, as part of their overhaul at Derby Works, during 1965.

The majority of these locomotives saw widespread use on the Great Eastern and Great Northern in the mid to late-1960s before being dispersed to the London Midland and Scottish Regions. Due late 2018.
