47580 'County of Essex' leads 47270 'Swift' as it runs double headed seen accelerating past Searchlight Lane as it works 1Z28 Holyhead to Carnforth via Stafford. This was a momentous day for many reasons! Check the description below for more details..

This was a significant day for a few different reasons, it was 47270s first proper run out in a few years excluding a test run it did a few months prior to this, also the fact that BR Blue 47s ran double headed in 2017 was great to see, and finally.. I managed to get this photo published in RAIL Magazine and was payed for it.
