47245 Thrashes Wigan - 29th July 2024
The class 47 was hauling a rake of stock from Burton to Carnforth after another successful railtour. I was expecting D345/40145 so I was a little disappointed when a 47 came into view.
Having ran around 20 early as far as Warrington this is where problems began. The 47 used P3 at Warrington and sat there for around an hour because of some disruption between Preston and Lancaster. Avanti had to use P4 at Warrington is unusual.
Despite being 39 late and nothing behind it
Still runs along the slows from golborne as booked. She was right behind a northern device here. A nice long shot in the end despite the right faf.
This is a great hobby but need serious patience at times.
