One of three Class 121 "bubble cars" still in service at the time, L127, or vehicle 55027, pauses outside Colchester shed on 16 March 1998. As the destination blind suggests, this vehicle, and sisters 55029 and 55031, could be found working between Marks Tey and Sudbury - the only unelectrified branch in the area. By the following year the three units had transferred from Ilford to Bletchley for use on the Marston Vale line to Bedford. After withdrawal from passenger service, 55027 was converted to departmental use, and then as one of two emergency vehicles for the Severn Tunnel.
