@class37100 No sorry, except I have an old audio cassette recording of a 2epb in the 80's (and many other classes too) but there's no picture, just sound.

I still work in offices on Holborn Viaduct and ocassionally used to take trains from this station to Peckham where I would change for a train from Victoria going to Lewisham. I well remember the railway crossing over Fleet Street and used to like to look up Ludgate Hill at St Paul's.
