For example, did you just happen to drop on a pair of 26's working the Sussex Scot south from Birmingham to Brighton one day? (Okay, that's a bit silly, but you get the point)
Still thinking about mine, but contenders would be ...
31271 and 31294 from New Street to Euston (Think it was a hugely delayed Glasgow - Euston (via BNS service)). We arrived in London at well past midnight. Not often you see a pair of diesels arrive at Euston on an express like that. Think that was in about 1990.
In about 1989/90 had a 73 (can't rememer which one) on some random excursion from Potters Bar to Folkestone Harbour throughout. Hardly anybody on it. I don't know how it made any money, or why it even ran in the end. I think it was aircon stock too if memory serves me right.
56048 from Crewe to Holyhead on a Euston - Holyhead service. 1990'ish again.
Outside of BR, it would have to be a DB 232 from Amsterdam on an Amsterdam - Berlin express.
Anybody else got any they wanna share?
