Ay up!

Dunno about that, George but Low Moor (56F) had a namer in 1967. Can't find any reference to it. Anyone know?

Read yesterday that 61002 was the last locomotive to haul a service from Whitby to Malton, thus the choice of identity

Going by the Green Bible, Oribi (61014) was withdrawn in 12/66, Impala (61002) in 6/67 but Nyala (61030) was withdrawn in 9/67.
