47404 820428 Guide Bridge Light
When the HST's took over the main ECML services alot of loco's were displaced to other duties.
The Deltics were removed from service fairly smartly but the Class 47's had further use and were moverd to Gateshead and deployed on Trans-Pennine duties and were generally spruced up and most were given names related to the North East.
Here 47404 Hardian is seen leaving Guide Bridge having been refuelled on the nearby depot. 28th April 1982
