25208 (front) and 25213 await departure with the 0800 Northampton - Morecambe MYSTEX at Nuneaton. It took me a further 24 years from the date of this photograph to actually identify this train as people of board said it was going to Llandudno (which I believed at the time). Eventually TRACTION published an article showing these two locos had been at Morecambe on this day. Quite possibly the only Mystery Excursion I ever travelled on where I didn't know the ultimate destination in advance!
