Sorry forgot to mention I'm Nottingham born & bred I spent many happy hours on Victoria station I can still remember the second entrance/exit on to Parliament street.
Most of the traffic on the GC route was steam hauled until the end.
Yes I know the locos were mainly Ex LMS or BR standards but it was still steam.
Another good place for local spotting was Colwick yard.
Colwick 38A/40E had nearly 200 locos allocated to it at one time.
