Thank you Dave @Yorkshire Dave for all that additional shipping/train service info. That's all added to what has become a quite extensive file about those three photos.
Thanks for shortening the list of possible candidates in the photo of the unidentified Princess Coronation, Arun. Updated in the file attached to the photo.
Then Larry - an interesting observation for sure.
As for possible name connections, vehicles and gravy - thanks for lightening the mood Tim @timbowales, Simon @simond and Barry @Barry37.
Another loco we’ve seen on these pages previously, most recently in post #2804, is A1 60136 Alcazar seen here on a down York and Newcastle train at Potters Bar on 3rd June 1962. It was a Doncaster engine and had been since since April 1959 being withdrawn from there on 22nd May 1963. (SLS). It lasted barely a week thereafter being scrapped at Doncaster Works by 29th May. (BR Database).
An unidentified B1 4-6-0 on a down Cleethorpes train at Potters Br on 23rd June 1962.
B1 61374 on an up Butlins Holiday Camp Express from Filey at Potters Bar on 23rd June 1962. The loco went to Immingham when new in 1951 where it was withdrawn in September 1963. (SLS). It was scrapped at Cashmore’s, Great Bridge, in March 1964.
Class A1 60119 Patrick Stirling on an up Newcastle Rose at Potters Bar on 23rd June 1962. For sure this is a named train about which I have absolutely no knowledge! The loco was based at Doncaster from August 1958 and was withdrawn in May 1964 (SLS), going to Messrs Cox & Danks at Wadsley Bridge to whom it was sold in August the same year. (BR Database)
By way of bonus pictures today are some traction engines. Good fun, traction engines, but yet another subject about which I have very limited knowledge. Comments will be appreciated.
