| Remarks & Notes |
| BR 92214 'Leicester City' passes Swithland Sidings with the 1315 Loughborough - Leicester North during the Great Central Railways Autumn Steam Gala Event marking '50 Years Since The End Of British Railways Southern Region Steam'.
BR 92214 was built at Swindon in October 1959 withdrawn in August 1965, less than six years after it was built. In December, 1980 it went to the Peak Railway Society at Buxton to start it life in preservation.
Currently named 'Leicester City' to celebrate the triumph of the City's football team in winning the English Premiership football competition from a position of being underdogs.
The new nameplates, with the City's light blue background, will be carried for a short period. |
