12th May 1968
A GRC&W twin set at Cromer station on 12 May 1968. That month the Eastern Region had received a batch of these sets moving from Leith Central to Cambridge. The DTCL shows signs of its Scottish background - the yellow first class stripe, the set number and the 'G' on the yellow panel. These were normally applied on top of the blue squares, but photos show that the blue paint used for the squares would often wash off on these sets. George Woods.
