On Saturday 25th September 2004 something quite AMAZING happenned at Stratford E.London! In the space of less than 1 hour two of the most unlikely classes went through the station... and this is the first. Other than maybe visiting nearby the long gone Stratford Depot, class 50s would only have made very occasional visits to the region. Here we see 50049 recently restored to Large Logo Blue bringing its westcountry bound charter train through the station.
