Low loader 73

Post by Donkey »

While travelling home from work yesterday saw 73133 on a low loader heading north on the M5 passing Clevedon around 18:40.

Any ideas where it was off to? Looked a little faded and a bit weather beaten.

I read on another site that it was heading for Selhurst in south east London.

Thanks.
It's been down in Taunton for a fair while now. Do you know why it's off to Selhurst?

No. But I have read various comments about the loco's lack of use. May be most of the shunting that was intended for 73133 has been done by the visiting class 66s?
