Staying on the Staycation Express

Class 47s finally on both ends of The North Pennine Staycation Express ECS as Locomotive Services Limited's Class 47/7, 47593 "Galloway Princess" brings up the rear of 5Z47 Crewe to Appleby as it crosses the Dutton Viaduct.

 

47 712 (out of shot) had been the intended traction to work with 47 593 during the first three weeks of the Rail Charter Services' tourist trains on the Settle & Carlisle line, however an OTMR fault had kept her side-lined at Crewe Diesel Depot.

 

With that finally fixed, the CPDG engine - on long-term hire to LSL - was able to take its place on the charters.
