The last operating steam locomotive on the Britsh Rail system was quite categorically not called Puffin' Billy.
It may well be that some hack thought it amusing to garner some brownie points from his editor by concocting some fictitious garbage but it just aint true!!
There are of course lots of steam engines operational on preserved railways all over the world and one system near Melbourne in Australia is marketted using the Puffin' Billy title even though none of its engines are so named.
