    News

  • A question sent to me by a contributor: Why does a class 47 run Crewe - Holyhead - Crewe with coaching stock?? Normally in the evening as 5Z47 / 5Z48....?? This has been running on a few nights every week to swap mk2 stock over at Holyhead the 47 leaves Crewe carriage shed with a set of stock takes it to Holyhead and returns with a different set from Holyhead. A class 57 hauled diagram begins and ends its day at Holyhead and doesn't go to Crewe at all so this changeover would appear to be the best solution for Riviera's coaching stock maintenance. As it runs at night I have heard very little on the working but I imagine most of Riviera's 47's have been to Holyhead so far this year. Several questions have been asked by numerous people mostly as to why it's a 47 when the daytime turn is a 57. It would seem like it would be easier for the 57 to haul the stock back to Crewe and then bring a new set back but perhaps the move uses Crewe based drivers who don't drive 57's (the daytime 57 turn uses Holyhead and Chester drivers). Perhaps it also costs more to hire the 57 than the 47 in which case why don't 47's work the daytime turn? Reliability issues? The other alternative is for the 47 to haul a set of stock to Longsight during the day as the two daytime 57 trips go to Manchester and then to Longsight for the loco to run round the train.Anyway I've probably answered everything I asked but I thought I'd pass the question on with a few answers for those who don't know.

  • 47840 = light OOC-Newbury/ 5xxx Newbury-Old Oak Common with 57605 and stock in tow.

    News

  • I was just in the middle of an update when I received gen about 47813 which is intended to work light engine from either Long Marston or Gloucester to Penzance to work the up sleeper tonight(!) the 2200 Penzance-Paddington. Last nights 2200 from Penzance was worked by an HST with 57605 oddly working a 0904 Penzance-Paddington today.
  • 47813 had been expected to haul 43154 and 43158 from Long Marston to Landore today and then taking 17173 back to Gloucester.
  • 47840 will be at Old Oak Common from 28/01/06 to 03/02/06 available for FGW use as 57603 is due for repairs at OOC and 57604 is intended to move to Brush Loughborough to have snow ploughs fitted. It will be used on the ECS moves to Paddington unless needed elsewhere but 57604 should return on 1st February.

    News

  • For those wondering: on Mon 23/01 57603 failed whilst on shed at Penzance - forcing the 'up' sleeper (1A40) on 23/01 to be an HST. 23/01 evenings 1C99 'down' Paddington-Penzance was given extra mk2 carriages to get to Penzance to be used with 57605 on Tues 24/01 as it was to haul 1A86 0904 Penzance-Paddington in place of the HST that had worked the sleeper earlier to Paddington. 57605 though failed en-route (no.3 traction motor flashover) and the service was cancelled at Newbury. 47840 ran light loco from Old Oak Common to Newbury to haul 57605 and stock to Old Oak Common. In the event that 57603 would not be repaired in time - Cotswold Rail's 47813 was sent to Penzance to ensure a loco would definitely be able to haul 24/01's 1A40 2200 Penzance-Paddington. 813 was on duties hauling HST power cars around between Landore Long Marston and Gloucester and 813 hauled 43158 and former Network Rail yellow 43154 to Gloucester where it was intended to pick up 47828 also for the run to Penzance but this was blocked in by 47316 so 813 continued alone to Cornwall. 57603 was expected to be hauled dead inside of 813 on 1A40 but this did not happen evidently it was still on repair. Also on 24/01 57604 ran to Loughborough with the intent of going for snow plough fitment with 602 having just been fitted and released from Loughborough expected to come back alone but both 602 and 604 returned to Old Oak due to the failure of 605. On Thu power cars 43154 and 43158 at Gloucester will continue on to Landore behind a Cotswold 47. 47813 is not intended to haul any other FGW service trains over the next few days as there are enough 57's available for now.

    News

  • Forwarded to me this morning is that Pathfinder Tours have been taken over by FM Rail and Riviera Trains with the new tour operations formerly of Pathfinder being operated by FM and Riviera but still under the Pathfinder Tours name. Planned 2006 tours will continue to run obviously Riviera and FM Rail own plenty of 47's so hopefully this will mean many more class 47 hauled railtours in the coming year.
  • Forward planning for all; on Fri 8th September 47192 on the Churnet Valley Railway has been hired for a running day it will do around eight or nine return trips as per the event last year. Anybody is welcome to turn up and fares information will be mentioned closer to the time.
  • Apparently 47840 has failed in big style at Winsford. It was putting out a lot of blue and white exhaust yesterday but I dismissed it as being characteristic for a loco that has sat around a lot and then works hard a lot every now and again! An 87 rescued it to take it to Willesden.

    News

  • The 5Z47/5Z48 trips to/from Cardiff also run tomorrow. These 47 ECS moves this week are reported to have been route refresher trips for drivers.
  • Rumour time: class 47's and stock may reappear on Rhymney services from February 13th. Like I said a rumour - but from a regular source so don't shout at me (or anyone else) if I'm wrong! Also there apparently won't be 47's to Fishguard in the summer although the train is likely to be loco hauled.
  • I asked on 23rd January for info on why a 47 hauls an ECS to Holyhead for a loco hauled turn that is operated by 57's (ie: isn't it easier to just use the 57 or just use 47's!) In answer to this Alstom provide a class 57/3 for the Holyhead-Manchester service with all loco servicing and fuelling requirements being carried out at Longsight as the turn visits the depot twice per day and this provides an opportunity to change loco's if required. Riviera provide a rake of mk2 stock and due to maintenance requirements this has to return to Crewe twice a week. Therefore a 5Z47 1740 Crewe Carriage Shed to Holyhead and 5Z48 2122 return operate on both Wed and Sats evenings. The ECS move is indeed driven by Crewe Arriva drivers who do not sign 57's and already drove 47's anyway. If the stock move was done the other way round (ie: the 57 hauled an ECS from Holyhead to Crewe and back) the move would not get back on Sun morning when returning from Crewe due morning due to regular engineering work. Added to the above the 47's that were hired in in the early months of last year suffered an unfortunate reliability record this was at the time that the former Freightliner 47/8's were beginning to be used on the turn. Prior to this Riviera's 47839 and 47853 were used and performed admirably on a diagram that ran for 633 miles every day (three Holyhead-Crewe return trips) marred only by having to run to unit timings and being increased from load 4 to load 6 for braking purposes (as on load 4 with the regular stopping pattern the brake blocks on the carriages were having excessive wear as more effort has to be put through them to stop a train with less carriages).
  • 47847 was seen on its light engine trip from Warrington to Carlisle and the return passing Hest Bank (between Lancaster and Carnforth) as 1040 on the way north and 1340 on the way back.
  • A unidentifiable 47 probably either 47816 from Mossend passed the same location light at 1621 heading south.

The service itself is running to train several drivers on 47's not as I said yesterday that it was a route refresher working.
  • 47813 should be on hire until somewhen around next Wed to FGW although after tonight it could just be used on the Old Oak Common ECS until then depending on availability of 57's. 57603 is out of service at Old Oak Common 57605 also on repairs at Laira.
  • 47802 worked yesterday 4S51 to Grangemouth and the return 4M53 as mentioned yesterday but in what has been an unusually poor week for 47 reliability (following failures of 828 and to a worse extent 840) it failed on the return at 1425 between Greenhill and Cumbernauld. It was rescued by 66409 which came light from Coatbridge and the train was on the move by 1545.
  • 47840 is expected to receive a replacement power unit at Old Oak Common. FGW are believed to be hiring in a 47 at regular periods for the forseeable future.

  • An article in the Daily Mirror yesterday mentions about police being encouraged to 'stop and search' railway enthusiasts in case terrorists are posing as train enthusiasts. As I encourage people to take photo's and spot I thought I should point out that it's useful to carry identification when on railway premises or indeed anywhere in the current world and evidence of railway enthusiasm (ie: on a digital camera - pics of trains).It also mentioned how 'real' enthusiasts can assist the police by looking out for anything suspicious. Ironically (irresponsibly?) the photo used is rather old and shows what could be described as enthusiasts trespassing on the line next to a mk2!

    News

  • FM Rail 47832 is to be fitted with multi working capability this weekend for SERCO trains to work with 47145 after 145’s regular partner 355 suffered a main generator fire on Wed. 832 will be the first FM Rail owned ETS fitted 47 to have the multi working equipment several of the Riviera and Cotswold 47’s have already been fitted (can somebody supply me with a list of which ones? Thanks)
  • In answer to my question about 47484 I received a few replies including one indicating that WCRC had purchased the loco which is still at Glasgow Works from GBRF and another stating that WCRC had bought it and sold it on to a private un-named buyer for a move to a private site for restoration. The former ‘Isambard Kingdom Brunel’ is though in a heavily stripped state after many years of store.
  • Further to my comments of cancelled drags from Norwich to Yarmouth last week I’m told that the creation of a mixed traction link for drivers at Norwich (which is the only link where drivers ‘sign’ 47's along with other loco’s and units) now means that many fewer drivers apparently now sign 47's than last year. Thus if a 47 is needed elsewhere for a rescue then subsequent trips to Yarmouth may be cancelled or replaced with units (as apparently the likelihood of a spare driver at Norwich who signs 47’s is very unlikely) as the available driver who knows 47’s will be elsewhere! This link of drivers was created to try and make sure that a driver is always available at Colchester during the week on the thunderbird. A five hour delay was apparently caused last year when a train failed outside Shenfield and a 47 was standby at Colchester but no driver available but with fewer drivers now signing 47’s perhaps more inflexibility has been added.

    News

  • 47484 was sold from DRS to WCRC some time ago and has now been sold on by WCRC to a private individual and was due to move from Glasgow Works to a yard in the Midlands last week and it is unknown if this has yet happened. It has apparently not been too badly stripped. It is still unknown who has purchased 47004.
  • Various sources are still suggesting the Diesel Traction Group (DTG) have purchased 47004 although recent quotes also suggest they have still denied this but I do not have any contact with them to confirm or deny this. The DTG are better known for owning D821 and D1015 and may have been involved with the care of it at Old Oak Common over the last few years.
  • 47306 (which was at St Blazey) had been sold from EWS to Harry Needle Railroad Co. and is apparently to be disposed of as the power unit may have been sold on for re-use.
  • 47769 is indeed believed to be at Crewe from Barrow Hill it will be a useful loco for some steam operated charters as 769 is dual braked.

  • The Greene King charter this weekend from Bury St Edmunds which would have been a 47 is now running with road coaches.

The strike is now off (called off on Wed) but it’s a bit too late to hire a train. An unfortunate possible loss of another rail customer.

    News

  • Heartland charter: The Wolverhampton-Penzance section was 828 alone with 813 dead in tow to Bristol where the multi connections were attached but would not work correctly so at milepost 145 they were shut down and ‘de-multi’d’ with 828 working forward alone with 813 dead in tow. The problem could not be solved for the return so 828 worked alone from just beyond Long Rock depot to Wolverhampton. Re my question on this being the first time a DVT has been to Cornwall apparently in the summers of 1989 and 1990 there was at least one booked turn for a set with a DVT into Cornwall. In '89 it was the Milton Keynes to Penzance service which started coincidentally at Wolverhampton as this charter did but back in 1990.

  • A Porterbrook press release: “Porterbrook to hand over 47840 Porterbrook Leasing Company Limited (“Porterbrook”) a subsidiary of Abbey National plc (“Abbey”) is pleased to announce that following discussions with the Diesel & Electric Preservation Group at the West Somerset Railway an agreement has been reached for the hand over of Class 47 locomotive No 47840. The locomotive has recently received repairs to its Sulzer 12LDA28C power unit including replacement of the “B” bank fuel camshaft and its associated follower by Brush Traction (“Brush”) in Loughborough. Work was also carried out on the exhaust system. Whilst at Brush the opportunity to refit the dual braking system to the locomotive was taken. The locomotive will now be able to work with both air and vacuum braked rolling stock. The installation of the vacuum braking equipment has proven to be a complex and challenging operation and Porterbrook withes to express its thanks to the many organisations involved; Brush Interfleet Technology D & E.PG and Cotswold Rail. The locomotive will be handed over to the preservation group on 1st May 2007 at the end of the current contract with Cotswold Rail”.

  • A site visitor (Roger Perkin) currently has the nameplate 'Aviemore Centre' as carried by 47546/ 47976 for sale - he says “it is totally ex-loco in red with silver lettering. The back has oxidisation as you would expect as it was named on 8th May 1985 and removed just before the loco was cut up in April 2000. This is the better of the two nameplates as the other is slightly bent and as far as I know is not on the market. Because of this I am open to offers on in excess of £4000. I have a Certificate of Approval from EWS to verify its provenance.” Info available from roger0.perkinREMOVE@virgin.net (remove the word ‘REMOVE’ if you’re emailing Roger it’s an anti-spam thing seems to work on other websites).
