6007 1962-06-12 Banbury

Having spent virtually the whole of its working life which began in March 1928 allocated to 81A, Old Oak Common 6007, "King William III" ended its days, in common with many others of the class, at 84A, Wolverhampton Stafford Road from where it was withdrawn in September 1963, so would have had another fifteen months left at the date of this view.
The strengthening pieces round the front lifting holes in the main frames show up well in this picture, indicating that 6007 had been one of the "Kings" to receive new front frames at Swindon in the mid 'fifties.
