On a Down express.

Peter Kerslake adds "They had clearly run out of Reporting Numbers at Old Oak Common this day and it looks as though the missing "5" has been chalked on the smokebox door!
6019 King Henry V is heading for its home at Cardiff Canton from Paddington having just passed through the Severn Tunnel. It had been transferred to Canton on 19th September 1960 and remained there until returning to Old Oak Common in March 1962.
It was about to enter Swindon Works for a Heavy Casual Overhaul at the end of the month and did not return to service until early January of the following year so was within the Works for four months. Despite such an extensive overhaul it was withdrawn in September 1962 and broken up by Cashmores at Newport later that same year."
