Its not every day a class of loco is withdrawn so one more picture of 56078 
bringing the loaded Plasmor building block train into Bow is well worth it. Two days later 
On Wednesday 31st March 2004, 56078 and 56115 ran the final 56 tour setting off from Bristol with 115 in charge, 
then 78 took over for a while from York before they double-headed the last leg which no doubt included some spirited running.
With presently no other operator having plans to use CLASS 56s it looks like...FAREWELL TO THE GRIDS...at least over here that is!
