45134 has arrived at Nottingham platform 3 with a Midland Main Line express, 5th July 1979. Originally D126 it was built at Crewe in 1961 and would give twenty six years of service before withdrawal in September 1987. Eventually towed to MC Metals in Glasgow in 1991 it was broken up in November of that year.

By the summer of 1979 the class 44 fleet had been reduced to the last three (44004/07/08) and on the 5th July 1979 44007 is approaching Nottingham station from the East with a solitary brake van in tow. It has lost its Ingleborough nameplates by this time. Built at Derby works the ten class 44 locomotives were the “pilot series” of the Peak Type 4’s and were initially allocated to express passenger duties on the West Coast and Midland Main Lines. 44007 was originally D7 and entered traffic, allocated to Camden MPD in November 1959. It was immediately loaned to Derby but was back at Camden by April 1960. In 1962 the ten pilot series Peaks were relegated to freight locomotives and transferred to Toton for use on heavy freight duties in the continuing dieselisation of freight traffic in the East Midlands. From here to withdrawal the ten class 44 locomotives would be synonymous with Toton, in general only working to the limits of the route knowledge of Toton's goods link drivers and usually on out and back turns. On the 19th April 1979 44007 had a final fling on class 1 passenger duty when the 15.16 Manchester - Harwich Parkeston Quay failed at Chesterfield. 44007 was added to the train for the run to Nottingham where it was replaced by 47533. The first of the class to be withdrawn from traffic was 44003 during July 1976 and the last three class 44 survivors were all withdrawn in November 1980 and whilst 44004 and 44008 were secured for preservation 44007 was broken up at Derby works during November 1981

20193 and 20170 stand on the Up Through Line at Nottingham station waiting for the signal to clear, 5th July 1979. 20193 was originally D8193 and was built by English Electric in 1967. It was allocated to Toton from new and apart from brief spell at Eastfield around 1986 was to spend the rest of its career a Toton engine until withdrawn in July 1989. 20170 was originally D8170 and was built in 1966. It was allocated to Toton from new and was withdrawn in September 1991 still allocated to Toton. They were both broken up by MC Metals, Glasgow in December 1990 and June 1993 respectively.
