The first Hymeks went to Bristol Bath Road depot for West Country services, but as the Class 52 ‘Westerns’ were arriving slower than planned, the Hymeks were redirected to South Wales to cover for them. This is why, from D7034 onwards, almost all locos were fitted with headboard clips to hold the titled trains’ large headboards. This lasted until 1963 when more Westerns were available and Hymeks were freed up to take on the Hereford – Paddington services, with which they became synonymous.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe final loco was delivered to Newton Abbot in February 1964 and the class was to see regular use from West London to the West Country, South Wales and the West Midlands on Western Region routes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey were also regularly used on the Southern Region route from Waterloo to Exeter and other Southern outposts such as Weymouth, Southampton, Poole and Bournemouth. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1967, five were even stationed at Worcester to bank trains up the Lickey Incline.
