I also remember the 1246 FO Portsmouth Harbour-Leeds and that it regularly produced a 33. It was Mk1 stock. I don’t think the loco stayed in Birmingham for any length of time so presumably went back south later the same day.Yes, I remember the existence of that one too, may have seen it once or twice - 1346 from Guildford. Think it was Mk-I stock.

Presumably the 33 hung around Birmingham all weekend, or did it go south on anything (before Sunday evening) I wonder, to be replaced by another 33 coming north on something else?
There was a 1009 Birmingham to Paddington which was a regular 50 turn. It made for a good run down to Oxford for the 33 back to Brum on the 1246 ex Pompey.
