33207 Passes Bamfurlong - 06th March 2026

West Coast Railways Class 33 locomotive "Crompton" 33207 "Jim Martin" heads south along the west coast main line through Bamfurlong south of Wigan on the afternoon of Friday 6th May 2026.

The class 33 was hauling something a little out of the usual with London Underground’s preserved 4TC driving cars 76324 and 76297 I believe which were working from Carnforth to Southall running near an hour early after a pretty clear run down bar a small wait at Leyland.

I have read that the underground stock returns south after it returns from repairs after receiving bad wheel flats last year. Not often you see a 33 under its own power through here too.

The London Transport 4TC (Class 438) is a 4-car trailer set, famously painted in lined maroon livery for railtours on the Metropolitan line and national network, managed by TfL. Acquired in 1992, these heritage units (Nos. 76297, 71163, 70823, 76324).
Apparently they went by road up to Carnforth.
