2577 Night Hawk approaching Sudbury Hill isn't a timetabled express, it's a special or excursion. This is a Tourist set with teak brake carriages and a converted bowstring dining car now in use as a buffet. With a bit more research I'll get the number of that vehicle. Possibly heading for Wembley as JASD17 has suggested.

2580 Shotover at potters Bar looks as though it's the opposite - a rake of teak TTOs with Tourist brakes and a Tourist buffet.

2598 Blenheim - the leading vehicle is an ex-NE or ECJS 12 wheel matchboard BCK.

I have been puzzling over the photo of A3 2746 (67/116) on the turntable for some years.

Thanks to 'LNER4479' of this parish I can confirm the location is Grantham shed.

The loco is turned ready for heading back south.

(66/116) is at King's Cross Shed before the roof was replaced
