We have sent in many pictures of class 86s...but never in this location Southend
Victoria as this is a very rare station for the class to visit. The reason is that
86235 'Crown Point' and 86246 'Royal Anglian Regiment' were in
charge of the official 'ONE Farewell 86 Tour'...well not quite as two or three 'Anglia'
class 86s are likely to be around until the end of the year! A non-stop run from
Norwich to London Liverpool Street broke the record for the 114 mile jouney later 
in the day and was touching 110 MPH at times. Not bad for a loco aproaching 40 years
old which '235' is. Oh yes the date of this event was Saturday 30th October 2004.
