Report Date Title Report Source
30/11/1946 General Two G.N. visitors, 'J.52' 4048 and 4231, make a change by occasional visits to Liverpool Street. where 'Super-Clauds' are getting rarer than ever, Cambridge and Clacton turns most often producing them. It is good to see the 'B.12' bearing their original G.E. numbers again. Electrification will no doubt cut deeply into the G.E. veterans SLS/194701
