Richard In fact this was part of a "sub swap" whereby 6 VRs (including this and two other VRT/LLs) allocated to Eastern Counties went onwards to Eastern National, who in turn sent 6 FLFs to Eastern Counties (who had already sent a large batch of FLFs to Scotland). No FSFs were involved in the SBG/NBC swap, though.
The slightly odd destination display was simply the SBG box inverted so it could be operated from the cab. regards Chris On Nov 27, 1:59 pm, richard field <[email protected]> wrote: > *Seen at South Wales Transport's Ravenhill garage on the 19th of December > 1981 is former Eastern National Bristol VRTLL6G LFS 287F.
