An Unusual Move at Coventry

Channel: John K Wells

Description
Class 47 passenger services were by no means an unusual sight at Coventry but this particular event was. Short of electric locomotives at Birmingham, the one coupled with this set had failed, removed from the set and no replacement was available hence the use of this 47. As far as I'm aware the loco worked all the way through to Euston. The date was April 11th 2000.
