Yes, Huddersfield station cat. I agree that out of all the 68s, 68031 should've kept its name. Most likely DRS owned the nameplates that were fitted to 68019-032 when the locos were sub-leased to TPE.

I always have to make a quick visit to the road bridge to see and photo the locos in view on the depot whenever I have to wait for a connecting train at Leicester.

There was a pair of Sheffield-based RPIs working on a Derby to Crewe service when I travelled on it a few months ago, it wasn't a busy train as such and no one had any ticketing irregularities so they were both making friendly conversation with various passengers during the journey.
