Class 20s were never common on the Calder Valley line and by this late stage unknown. I was amazed therefore to see this pair in charge of a Fiddlers Ferry to Milford MGR on the 2nd February 1993, as I'd never seen an MGR behind 20s all the time I'd been photting on the line! The train was being hauled by 20081 and 20016 and they are seen descending Elland Bank towards Brighouse. This location is now inaccessible because of a new housing development.
