Britannia 4-6-2 No 70021 Morning Star leaves Derby with the up 'Palatine' from Manchester Central to St.Pancras on July 25, 1959.
Peter Kerslake says "Delivered new from Crewe Works to Plymouth Laira in August 1951, the first of its class to reach that far west. 70021 was at Laira for almost six years before moving to Cardiff Canton in January 1957. It was transferred to the London Midland Region, allocated to Trafford Park at Manchester in July 1958."
