London Termini that you've had locos in or out of?

[Cowley]

Just a bit of fun. It was a thread about the Chiltern line that got me thinking about this. I was also chatting to my dad today about us doing BR mystery tours in the 70s and I was hoping that I'd been out of Marylebone behind a 47 but no, we used to get them from Princes Risborough so I don't think I've actually been out of Marylebone behind a loco yet unfortunately.
Anyone who's gone on a 'Buffer Puffer' railtour will have quite a head start on this, but anyway here's mine for what it's worth (I'm not counting HSTs in this):

Waterloo - 33s, 47s, 50s, 73. steam 31625.
Paddington - 31s, 47s, 50s.
Euston - 85,86,87,90.
St Pancras - 47.
Kings Cross - 91.
Liverpool Street - 47,86.

That's it for me but it'd be great to hear from others.

 

[Ash Bridge]

I'm especially envious of that Southern Mogul out of Waterloo Mr Cowley, best I can offer is...

86/87/90 - Euston
86/55 - Liverpool Street
73/40/47/50 - Waterloo
47/50/52 - Paddington
Class 55 cab ride from bufferstops to platform end - Kings X

If HSTs count, 43s out of Euston, St Pancras & Paddington

 

[causton]

Waterloo - 66, 43, 73
Paddington - 66, 43, 57
Marylebone - 67, 68, 43
Euston - 67, 86, 90, 92
St Pancras - 43
Kings Cross - 43, 73, 20, 90, 91
Victoria - 73, 20
Liverpool Street - 90, 37

Think that's about it!

I know the addition of an HST as a "loco" will annoy some people

 

[Cowley]

Good work chaps.
Hang on a minute. Did Mr Bridge say that he'd had a cab ride in a Deltic from the buffer stops at Kings Cross?
Yes he did, and as usual he's trounced me with his early life experiences
I had opportunities to have locos out of different London termini at times and didn't take them unfortunately, but at least I had a few thankfully.
Come on then Mr Bridge, how did you find yourself in the cab of a Deltic at Kings Cross having a cab ride (a bit off topic here I know but I started it)?

Class 20 from Victoria Causton. What's the story there then?

I don't know about trounced Mr C, what about your steamer and 33? regarding the Deltic, it was standing shut down on the London end of an arrived express so simply a case of shouting up to the drivers open cab window to see if we could 'cab it' he gave us the nod and up we went. After about 10minutes of questions from a pair of enthusiastic teenagers he told us it was time to fire up one of the engines ready for the loco's release once the stock behind had been hauled away, it was then that he suggested we could remain onboard for a trip to the platform end, I remember there was so much noise and you are so elevated in a Deltic cab it was hard to tell it was actually moving, it seemed to be over in a flash but still a very treasured memory for a diehard Deltic fan, from memory I think it was 9012 Crepello.

Brilliant. It was a different world.

 

[Ash Bridge]

Brilliant. It was a different world.

Indeed it was, I could mention several other mainline ones over considerable distances too involving a 40, 50, 03, EMUs & DMUs but that would take us completely off topic so perhaps save those for another time?

That would make an interesting thread too at some point.

Class 20 from Victoria Causton. What's the story there then?

Probably the GBRF 15th anniversary tour last year.

 

[87015]

87s for Euston, St Pancras, Kings X & Liv St. Live in hope of one day adding Fenchurch St and Padd...

I'd be intrigued what odds you'd have managed to get that Marylebone would be the last bastion of diesel loco hauled trains out of London (no, I don't count HSTs)
Actually, even if you do count trams and electrics, Marylebone is likely to be the last full stop isn't it?!

87s out of St Pancras and Liverpool St is good going, were they on railtours?

You're right about Marylebone, certainly for daytime services it probably will be the last bastion of loco hauled trains in the capital.

 

[steamybrian]

I have not noted them but this what I can remember..

Waterloo- classes 33, 47, 50, 52, 73 - steam- many classes of Bullieds + specials,

St Pancras classes 40 45 and 47? (on booked services)
Kings Cross- 31, 47 plus many class 55 (Deltic) on booked services plus of course 90, 91
Broad Street- class 31 on GN suburban services via Canonbury

[steamybrian]

I have now remembered I have been hauled out of Euston by the 1960 built 25kv electric classes 81, 83, 84 or 85 or classes AL1-5 as I first knew them ..!
I am sure I have had class 37 haulage out of Paddington but cannot remember. But in 1983 took the Summer Saturdays through train Paddington-Newquay but cannot remember if it was 37 or 47 hauled..?

 

[SouthDevonian]

Many of mine were on railtours (indicated by ‘R’ - only one of which was a Buffer Puffer). Service trains are denoted by ‘S’.

Fenchurch St: 37 T&T (R)
Liverpool St: 2x25s (R); 25+31 (R); 37 (R)
KX: 47 (R); 55 (S); 55 (R); 91 (S)
St Pancras: 45 (S)
Euston: 86 (S); 87 (S)
Padd: Castle (S); 1xWarship (S); 2xWarships (S); 47 (S); 50 (S); 52 (S); 56 (R)
Waterloo: Warship (S); 52 (S); 71 (R); 2x73 (R)
Vic (SE side): 33 (R); 56 (R)
Ldn Bridge (Central side): 37 T&T (R); 56 (R)

NB. I have used the generic 'Warship' description to cover both Class 42s & Class 43s. As I used them in & out of Padd many times, the odds are that I used both. HSTs have been excluded.

 

[SouthDevonian]

Forgot a 31 (S) out of Padd

That reminds me that I have had many class 42 (Warship) haulage out of both Paddington and Waterloo - the latter which worked the Exeter services for many years.
Also now remembered had many runs behind class 35s (Hymek) out of Padd.

You're right about Marylebone, certainly for daytime services it probably will be the last bastion of loco hauled trains in the capital.

St Pancras was diverted WCMl services in (from memory) 1992 - electric to/from Bedford. Happened a handful of weekends before it was all deemed too difficult in the runup to privatisation...
Liv St was that ACORP day of nonsense at Norwich, advertised extras I think it was, just know the organisation was farcical (Cotswold and Anglia Railways, enough said!)

 

[Seaeagle]

Fenchurch Street :- 47204 in for 20021 & 20140 out Old Men of Bow railtour April 1988

[RichmondCommu]

Quite surprised that no one has had the class 89 out of King Cross.

 

[Cowley]

That's a good point, and I forgot to put 73 into Waterloo on mine (just added).

Right. Everyone who had the 89 go back and alter your papers

 

[theageofthetra]

I have vague memories of getting a loco hauled service Waterloo-Axminster in the mid 70's- would that have been a 47 or a 50?

Does anyone have loco hauled out of London's 'other' termini?- Hampton Court, Hayes, Bromley North, North Greenwich etc.

I think mid 70s the most likely would have been a class 33 tbh.
