On the 4th May 1987, Inter City held an open day at Bounds Green to celebrate its 21st anniversary. Locos present included 08873, 31411, 37116, 43057, 43116, 44004, 45104, 47406, 47500, 55015, 73125, 86426, 87101.

Also on that day, 40122 worked 'The Corby Cutler' railtour, and luckily for me I took an excessive amount of pictures of the clean green machine! My notes say that 45132 and the nicely named 31423 'Hob-Nob' were in the station that day.
