The very last vacuum brake only class 40 in service was 40009, seen here at Warrington Bank Quay on what I think was a empty rail set for Castleton. Warrington to me, late 1970s and early 1980s, was Class 40 heaven and busy with so much freight traffic. 40009 was a Manchester Longsight loco at the time.
