From the September 1975/January 1976 - Crewe/Cardiff pictures.

Despite having no heat 25166 is called into service to work a Birmingham service made up of just two coaches. 2M98 ran non stop to Birmingham from Droitwich Spa. It would then run ECS from Birmingham via the Soho Road loop to Worcester passing through Kidderminster at around 12.55. The loco would then work 4M20, a parcels service from Worcester to Curzon Street (or perhaps Birmingham New Street) The train ran for at least a year and was usually a Class 25 with three or four coaches.
