Thanks Richard, just a mention of the Ls makes me want to attach a file.
At Thornbury Depot. Terrible seeing them there. They should have been out
running around like hairy dogs, not in a kennel. Oh well. All good

I will attach another one. Around 1979 GH were running 105 ALL DAY, and on
Saturdays!! Just fantastic. GH loved their L, that's for sure.
