Birmingham 2002 

 
Until the late summer of 2002, 86's and 87's still prevailed on the Euston Services, and 86's and 47's on Cross Country. As can be seen in the lower group of photographs taken at New Street, the 47's came in a variety of liveries. Inter City, Virgin Red, EWS Red & Cream, Light Blue, Dark Blue, and Police. The EWS 37 was on an unusual Freight Working. 

Three years later, it was possible to spend virtually a whole day at New Street without seeing a single locomotive. Such is progress, and so it remains. International is rather better, with the occasional Freightliner, Stone train, and general freight.
