LPPC DSL BW 0779 Creeping through Llandudno Junction station so as not to stop before the signal ahead clears is one of the later English Electric Type 4 Class 40s. Numbers D345 to D399 were fitted with then-current fashion of central headcode-boxes when built and here is an immaculate, recently outshopped LMR example on its way to Holyhead with the daytime Irish Mail, timetabled to run non-stop from Chester to its destination. It’s being watched by a group of sailors/ratings on the platform, presumably going home on leave, whilst on the right the ECS sidings seem to be occupied by stored BR GUVs, CCTs and Mark 1 coaches.
