Swifty11 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Having clawed back some time, LSL 47593 'Galloway Princess' arrives solo into York working the delayed 1Z94 Inverness - Stevenage 'The Statesman' charter. At this stage, the charter was 118 minutes late having been delayed due to 47810 'Crewe Diesel Depot' derailing in the Tweedmouth area. 47501 'Craftsman' also ran into difficulty having failed on the first day of the 4-day tour, resulting in it being left behind in Tyne Yard. 21st October 2019. 47593 - 1Z94 - York by Swifty's Photos, on Flickr 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
