The "Bicycles" worked at Northern Division sheds, running between Wolverhampton and Chester. DesignNumbered in the series 439-444, the running plate of these inside-framed locomotives was raised, without splashers, above each of the large ({{convert|6|ft|1|in|3|abbr=on|disp=or}}) driving wheels, rather giving the impression of bicycle wheels and mudguards. RebuildingMost of the class was renewed at Wolverhampton Works under George Armstrong in 1885/6; the renewals were more conventional in appearance, with large splashers, but the class's nickname stuck. At first the renewals also ran on the same routes as their predecessors, though later some were transferred further south.{{sfn|Tabor|1956|pp=D26=D27}} ReferencesSources
