CWJ Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 D1733 (AKA 47853 I believe?) in the sidings at Derby station in 2004 or thereabouts, when Virgin XC repainted a number of their 47s in heritage liveries as a farewell gesture before being replaced by Voyagers. On 15th September 2006 47709 'Dionysos' interferes with my steam photography at the south end of Derby station. In summer 2004 Virgin West Coast were using Class 47s to haul their Mk3 sets between Crewe and Holyhead, presumably while the Class 57s were being equipped to haul the Pendolinos until the Voyagers were delivered. 47851 calls at Bangor on 24th August 2004. More recently, 47746's driver takes care to make full use of every inch of Platform 1 at Huddersfield as he calls with a charter on 7th May 2014. Cheers, Will 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely photo of a much missed era for me (in more ways than one), thanks for posting. Regards, Ian. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
