In early 1981 Lincoln had an allocation of four vacuum-braked Class 03s, specifically 03026 03034 03149 and 03389. This picture was taken that same year and shows 03034 parked behind the station at Boston. To the best of my recall there were still two 03 duties at Boston at this time, one for the dock duty and one spare, and it was the spare engine that was parked at the station. Within two years it was all over for Lincoln's 03s, 03149 was withdrawn in November 1982 and the other three followed in February 1983. The only survivor was dual-braked 03162, briefly transferred in from Colchester before moving on to Birkenhead when the others were withdrawn.
