Test train
47204 propels OLE test coaches past Speke Junction towards Garston with 1T24 from Crewe on 8th April 1986.
All of the sidings (Low Level as it was known) were lifted a few years ago but have recently been replaced to act as a hub for the Liverpool Lime Street to Weaver Junction resignalling scheme.
The loco was renumbered to 47388 in June 1994 for work as an RFD and Channel Tunnel loco and then was placed back as 47204 in July 1995.
It underwent body-snatching conversion to a 57 in April 2000 and roams the rails today as 57012.
