Hello Stranger
73119 made a very welcome appearance in the East Midlands on 6 October 2025, working an 08:38 Tonbridge West Yard to Derby RTC move with 73212 on the back. While the rebuilt 73/9s are regular visitors to the area on test trains, unrebuilt EDs are extremely rare. 1Z69 was photographed heading west from Melton Mowbray.
