66735 named Peterborough United

[gaymale]

Although by now - 24 hours later - it is old news, I was on the Nene Valley Railway yesterday (Easter Monday) on a train being hauled by 34081, 92 Squadron. As we arrived at Orton Mere station 66735 was in the opposite platform with a partially covered nameplate visible.



By the time our train had been to Peterborough and back to Orton Mere the naming ceremony had been completed and 66735 had already left Nene Valley metals.

It was named 'Peterborough United' in memory of Nick Sinclair a Peterborough United fan who died about two years ago. It was unveiled by his widow and one of his grandsons. He was an ex-employee of GBRF. I'll try and upload some photo's from my 'phone when I get a chance.
