Withdrawal of the class began in the early 1990s.
==50044 Exeter in Serviceservice==
D444 entered service at Stoke in November 1968, having been built as English Electric Works No 3814/D1185.
50044 was withdrawn from service by BR in January 1991.
==50044 Exeter in Preservationpreservation==
Following withdrawal, 50044 was sent to London’s Stratford depot for component recovery and later offered for sale as suitable for scrap only. The Fifty Fund were seeking a locomotive as a source of spares, but finding that few components had been removed, successfully purchased 50044 for preservation. The locomotive has been cosmetically de-refurbished, to appear as it did when released to BR from English Electric's Vulcan Foundry works. Since its preservation 50044 has worked both on the SVR and on the main line.
