25/03/1950 Stratford Works One of the two 0-4-0T tram engines-No. 68083- has just been through shops. The crest is on the undercarriage, below the wooden body. One of the 0-6-0T tram engines has the words 'British Railways' in the same position, and does not look as neat. Locomotives in the new shops were Nos. 61004/42/50/54/89, 61332/35. 1639. 62531, 3040. 63101, 7160, 68527, 69704, 90013, 90502. ex-W.D. 77013, 79312 and outside awaiting shopping were Nos. 61235, 61559, 8386, 8647, 9684, 90392. The three Crane locomotives are now renumbered; No. 68667 noted 3/49, No. 68668 2/50 and No. 68669 3/50 (with crest). These dates are not given in the official lists, and the actual dates will be slightly earlier. In the Paint Shop were Nos. 61540 (lined), 61554. 68088, 68225, 68651, 69641, 69728; and in the old Works Nos. 61058, 61336, 61558, 62509, 2584, 2601. 62790, 2794, 4644/83, 65462, 65545/57, 7155, 7226, 8375, 8519/61, 8772, 8874/81, 9639/69.

08/02/1954 Cambridge Line services B1 class engines continue to deputise for 'Britannias' on occasions on the Cambridge line services, and the new spirit which pervades the G.E. has led to some very creditable running by these engines. No. 61042 on the 12.35 p.m. Yarmouth with 336 tons net, 360 full, dropped 20 seconds to Audley End with a maximum of 58 m.p.h. at Great Chesterford, speed not falling below 49 on the climb past Littlebury. The 41 miles thence to Liverpool Street were run in 56 minutes (54 net) with a maximum of 68 at Burnt Hill. B1 and B17 engines were responsible for all traffic on Sunday, 17th -January, when trains were diverted via Audley End and Bartlow due to engineering works. Similar arrangements, but not affecting the evening services, were in operation on the previous Sunday, 10th January. For trains stopping at Audley End this diversion necessitates attacking the long climb at 1:82 off the branch platform at Audley End. The transfer of No. 42104 to Neasden is noteworthy, as it is believed to be a new class for this shed. SLS/195404
