A train I'd tried to get from work at Twycross Zoo to Lea Marston for - but no movement. Retro liveried class 69 locomotives 69004 in 1980's Derby RTC Red and blue livery and 69005 in Eastleigh Green livery pass Portway, Tamworth with a late running 3Q99 1256 Bescot - Toton weed management train (for takling the Coalville branch the following Monday - had its work cut out)!

My auntie Sybil at school in London she is standing 3rd row 5th from the right .
I'll add some more details of the school as soon as I find out .
Not really sure why the boy is holding a board with the I , perhaps that is the year 1 class .
I love some of the expressions of the kids and the girl standing next to my auntie looks like she just said something to make her laugh .
A scotrail 47 is in charge of an Interregional service while a class 45 stands by, big Sulzer heaven. I cant quite make out which 47 it is the number doesnt tie up with the name. Any clues?
We offer a wide variety of fitness classes to help you stay active, while balancing a busy lifestyle of work and social time.
Mild exercise (such as Yoga or core workout) can release endorphins, which are the hormones that give you that post-exercise feel-good factor.
More vigorous exercise (such as Zumba or Spin) can help with managing your weight, using up calories that would otherwise be stored as fat.

The regular Class 92 hauled Dollands Moor to Scunthorpe (as far as Doncaster) ran on this Bank Holiday Monday with DBS 92042
By the late 1950s the British Transport Commission was seeking designs for second generation main-line diesel loco of the Type 4 range. Several prototypes were put forward by different builders but the design adopted came from Brush, and thus the Brush Type 4, became BR's standard Type 4 diesel.
In February 1961 the BTC placed a contract with Brush to build 20 Type 4s. The power unit was a Sulzer 12LDA28C of 2,750hp; electrical equipment was also supplied by Brush. Construction of the first loco commenced at Brush's Loughborough works in January 1962, emerging in late September, carrying the number D1500. It then commenced test running on the London Midland and Western Regions. Prior to delivery of the first loco, Brush awarded an order for a further 30 machine's and over the ensuing years several repeat orders were placed, the majority being built by Brush, but when workshop space was full at Loughborough, the BR works at Crewe also built locos, all technical components being supplied by Brush with only the body and assembly work being undertaken by BR. Construction of the fleet continued uninterrupted until early 1967, when a total of 512 locomotives had been built, thus forming the largest single class of main line diesel locomotives in the country.
During the course of the build a number of minor alterations were incorporated. This included the first 20 being fitted from new with dual-heat steam/electric equipment, a batch of 81 given no provision for train heating, and five (Nos D1702-6) built with experimental Sulzer 12LVA24 engines which were later replaced with standard power units (Class 48).
After several years of satisfactory operation it was decided to derate the Sulzer engines from 2,750hp to 2,580hp, thus improving reliability and extending maintenance schedules, whilst not significantly altering the locomotives' performance.
As will be seen from the illustrations, a number of different front end styles have been carried on this fleet. When introduced 4-character alpha/numeric headcode panels were installed; this later gave way to a black panel with white cut-outs, which in turn was superseded by fixed beam marker lights of varying styles.
Under numerical classification this fleet became Class 47 (the 12LVA24 engined examples being Class 48 until re engined). Various sub-classes have been formed: 47/0 for standard locomotives, 47/2 for green spot multiple control machines, 47/3 for locomotives without provision for train heating and 47/4 for electric or dual heat fitted locomotives. The 47/7 classification was devised in 1979 when a batch of electric heat locomotives was converted for push-pull operation on the Edinburgh-Glasgow route; this sub-class further increased in the 1990s with conversion of RCH fitted locomotives for Rail Express Systems. The sole official Class 47/6 was a standard locomotive rebuilt in the early 1970s a testbed for projected Class 56 equipment and renumbered 47601, and later rebuilt with Class 58 equipment and reclassified Class 47/9 and renumbered 47901. The Class 476xx and 478xx series are also used but these are technically 47/4s with modifications.
Today, in much depleted form, the Class 47 fleet still operates throughout the country at the head of both passenger and freight services, but their once superb reliability has declined with age. During the early 1980s most locomotives passed through BREL Crewe Works for heavy general overhaul. Withdrawals of life-expired or collision-damaged locomotives commenced in the mid-1980s, and by the end of 2001s only about one third survive.
Following privatisation of the UK rail industry, Class 47s passed to both major players in the freight business—EWS and Freightliner—as well as the passenger lease companies. In terms of passenger traffic, First Great Western and Virgin Trains are the users.
A number of Class 47s have passed into preservation and private ownership, and several are now authorised for operation on Railtrack metals.
When built some of the Western Region allocated locos were given cast GWR style nameplates. Naming was resumed in the late 1970s with some 40% of the fleet eventually given names. After being introduced in two-tone green livery with small yellow panels and subsequently emerging in corporate blue from the late 1960s, a vast number of new liveries have been carried by this class, ranging from 'mock' GWR green to the gaudy Network SouthEast blue, red white and gray. Following BR's sectorisation and eventual privatisation the Class 47 fleet has seen a further diversity of liveries, with over 100 different schemes applied.
