My first time working secondman on a diesel was on a Sultzer on the Cambridge Buffet Express. It made a nice change to sit in a comfortable seat and do nothing but the diesel fumes in the cab were strong and the steam heating boiler nearly blew up. The driver worked the boiler as I did'nt have a clue.
It was the only time I went to Cambridge (via Hitchin) I do recall the name of the signalbox just before Cambridge was Trumpington which made me chuckle. I think B1s were the usual steam locos on these trains or maybe L1s I'm not sure..
