    Good evening, everyone, and many thanks, Mick, for posting the signalling diagram of Withernsea station. We are making a return journey to Withernsea this evening, with thanks again to the website withernsea1.co.uk. This photo’ has no known individual credit, and shows a class J21, possibly 771, on the turntable, in c1930.

    It depends how you define regular and unusual. When I was spotting the Tyne Valley line was DMU operated, largely with Class 101's and sometimes Carlisle allocated 108's. The Carlisle - Hull service was double headed 31's, the early morning train from Carlisle to Leeds and late afternoon return was often D200 and a 47 otherwise. The Nottingham services had just been re-routed via the WCML. My memories are that when D200 wasn't working and after D200 moved on S&C services to Carlisle were a combination of 31's and 47's, with 47's the norm as new generation DMUs appeared to displace locomotive hauled trains. The fact that peaks appearing tended to cause a bit of excitement for local spotters and bashers indicates they weren't that common after Nottingham services went electric.

    Nottingham services electric ?

    Thats something that passed me by.

    That looks like a recent spruce up for 47847 at that time.

    It had black headcode panels, in 2007 when it was on the back of our train to Holyhead

    Did anyone get a chance to ask the Bachmann guys when they are expecting the next batch of 47's? I've got 712 on preorder, I know the Bachmann website says Jul/Aug so I guess imminent.
