Great shots! What locations are they at?
1981: Wimbledon, adjacent to the West Yard. Incoming brand new 508's needed space on Wimbledon depot, so over a number of months redundant 405's (SUB's) were moved elsewhere for storage. This example is one STP weekend that I diagrammed which included the move of a number of SUB's to Wimbledon West Yard for temporary storage. You may detect a familiar theme here with those contributing to the 701 threads!

2025: Woking Up Yard, which is still visited regularly by class 20's (never heard of in my teenage spotting years) and 37's, which were a regular staple on oil tank trains back in the day.

Brilliant, thank you!
