25 300 & 25 278 March Hundred Road
By 1981, Class 20s were becoming more common visitors to March than Class 25s. It was nice, therefore, to see this pair on Sunday 8th November, even if this discoloured print gives the impression that the depot car park has been planted with heather !, Next morning 25278 worked the 05.16 and 25300 the 08.02 ballast empties to Croft. Both turns were booked for 31s but it was a handy way to get the 'rats' back to the Midlands. , , 25300 is in Glasgow Works paint style with bodyside numbers after a classified repair there in June 1978. Her time was up in 1985, but 25278 which exhibits the Derby Works livery style applied in January 1981 lasted long enough to have a new life in preservation. Under her old number D7628 she is at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
