April Fool
Early gen sources suggested that green livery 47815 was allocated to this and was likely to be the leading loco. My hopes were dashed on arrival here when I discovered a swap had taken place in favour of maroon 47848.
Although I'm not a fan of the livery, at least the loco was smartly turned out and was certainly getting a move on in charge of 5Z70, the 07.26 Carnforth - Liverpool Lime Street Northern Belle ECS, passing Bay Horse on Fri 1st April 2022.
