departing Birmingham New Street at around 09.15 (by his camera clock) on what he
believes was this train. He records that it was 'on a set of Mk1 stock with the
leading two vehicles at least in a two tone livery, the majority in green and
the rear vehicle S3086 in BR red/cream'. Did 67026 work the train throughout?
