Class 121 single car 55033 was the unit selected to be painted into a colourful livery marking the Midline brand. The colour scheme isn't really apparent in this picture of T013 in Stratford-upon-Avon on the murky day of 12 February 1992 especially as the light was so poor there was no point in wasting any slide film on a shot. The unit was working the two-hourly shuttles between Stratford and Leamington and was shortly to leave with 12.13 to the latter. Peter Tandy.
