Ian Yes I did notice that, it does look like that but I can not remember the actual sequence of events that day. I did take a second photo of 47199 heading away to the north with the train of vans, if it did recess by the station then it must have set back into the yard from the north, cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
