Description
*Sunday 26th November 2000* - Class 47 Class 47 47726 Manchester Airport Progress at Cosham. This was a member of the Rail Express Systems (RES) sector with normal duties for this locomotive being being mail and parcel services. I believe there was a shortage of Class 47/8 InterCity Long Range (ILRA) sector members, so this RES loco was was on hire to virgin trains and seen here passing through Cosham with the 1O08 0906 Birmingham - Poole virgin trains service. This service had been diverted from the usual Winchester route between Reading and Southampton due to engineering works so ran via Guildford, Havant, and Netley to rejoin the route at St Denys to head onto Southampton.
