A few from last night, at Crewe and Wembley Yard....

47 749 'City Of Truro' was also lurking at Wembley but I didn't have time to grab a photo, nice to see it again though as I drove it many times at Old Oak when it was still 47 076.

Scotrail liveried 47 during diversions at Garsdale, scheduled to be the last weekend of such things before closure of the Settle and Carlisle, which happily didn't happen.

 

It was ever so wet, which I think amused the driver of this 47 which was on a service train stopping at the station!

 

Captain Kernow was in attendance and will have taken a better picture than mine...

One of the 47 hauled diverted trains opens up as it passes the signal box on the same day, it made a great noise!

 

This snap gives you a better idea of the liquidity of the weather on the day. By the way, I think the last picture may be Inter City livery rather than Scotrail(?)

 

I do like a good 47, under appreciated at the time possibly...

As you suggested Simon, InterCity livery rather than ScotRail.  Judging by that cabside scar it's probably 47406, formerly Rail Riders.

Here he is cheerfully pulling away from the station, I'm sure he gave us all a toot!
