870 1971-06-05 Exeter St Davids

The last of the class with its distinctive cowling - if they had built any more would they have started again at A?. Zulu has brought in the 1V11 11.00 Waterloo-Exeter, and it would work back on the 1O20 20.07 Exeter-Basingstoke. Just three days later 870 was running light engine from Newton Abbot to Laira when it collided with the rear of the 861-hauled, 4B45 20.35 Severn Tunnel Junction-Plymouth Friary freight, near Laira Junction. It was sent to Swindon for assessment but was eventually withdrawn unrepaired on the 28 August.
