Photo by Colin Peter Whitbread : 50 033 turning the overnight Sleeper stock at West Ealing on 19th March 1987, this is a job I remember very well at Old Oak, we booked on at 06.00 and went light engine to Padd to pick up the stock, we then took it round to Greenford where we sat on the triangle for about an hour and a half before taking it round to Wembley via West Ealing, Acton Wells, Acton Canal Wharf and the Willesden relief lines, returning light to Old Oak...

I wonder what the cost of doing that was over the years, with the collection run as well, compared to actually installing the required retention tank emptying facilities at Old Oak???
