20901 and 20905 stabled this morning at their sometime home base, the sidings at Welwyn Garden City. This isn’t anything that you couldn’t have deduced from the posts above, but they are part of a noticeable feast of classic traction this morning, being joined by 37425 and 37422 stabled in an adjacent siding with a short test formation…
