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.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, thanks to a photo’ by Philip Wheldale on Flickr, we go back to Gilberdyke, on the 20th March, 2015. 47847, in large logo blue, is heading train 4D94, the 10.30 Doncaster Down Decoy to Hull CT.

Best regards,

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.
