One of the former Western Region 'Britannias' at Finedon on an up Manchester express on 2nd May 1962. No.70028 Rising Star was allocated to Longsight shed at this date. It had left the Western in October 1961 moving to Aston and it had two spells at Longsight the following year. The handrails on the smoke deflectors of the WR engines had been removed and replaced by hand holes in an attempt to improve forward visibility from the cab following the derailment of No.70026 in November 1955. The Britannias on the other Regions were similarly modified.
