Class 47 Allocation mid 90s.

[125_driver]

Ok, this is a rather specific nerdy question , chances are no one will still have memory of the answer.

I am trying to find out about allocations of the intercity class 47s in the period 1994-1995.

So, all ILRA engines were I believe allocated to Bath rd until summer 1995. So in this period 94 -95 whilst technically there were separate TOUs (cross-country and great western) the locos where in the same pool.

So where the engines all allocated to all services? Also who was essentially responsible for them, cross-country TOU or Great western TOU?

If anyone can help I'd be interested to know the answers , but recognise it's a long shot!

If nothing else comes up, maybe try for an ABC pocket book or similar via ebay or the second hand books section of your local preserved line ?

I think looking at notes that in 1995  after Bristol lost the intercity locos,

47811,47813,47832,47845 & 47846 were allocated to Laira which was a great western depot. 

Hope this helps

ILRA locos moved from BR to Crewe, then a move to Toton. The locos for GW went into the IWBR pool at BR, with a move to SPM, then LA IWLA pool. XC loco were controlled from the XC control which was initially at Derby then Birmingham. GW locos controlled from Swindon.
