The 'Cockney Sparrow' started to appear on locos in the late 1980s we think. Locos based at the old Stratford Depot
E.London carried this to identify the locos home base. It clearly has not gone entirely in 2003 since although
most of the locos having this would by now have been withdrawn, it can still turn up to our amusement, such as on
47 847. This 'Sparrow' was spotted however on 37106 in the Autumn of 1998.
