Steam Loco convoy at East Croydon 23 September 1991

Following the Brighton line 150 celebrations and open weekend at Lovers Walk depot, the steam exhibits make their way (I think) to Southall shed. The locos paused at East Croydon for about 20 minutes for general checks. Supposedly in "light steam" the class 33 should have be hauling them, See what you think! The locos are 70000 "Britannia", 34027 "Taw Valley", 30777 "Sir Lamiel" and 80080 BR Std 4MT tank.
