After one of the 'last trains' had departed, this cavalcade of three class 73 electro-diesels appeared. 73 204, 73 205 and 73 209 were running on diesel as the third rail supply had been turned off some years previously, in fact the rail had been removed uphill from this location at Warren Road level crossing.
