    Does anyone know the reason for the trip
    (apart from giving enthusiasts a field day)?

    It was the Western because Colas didn't have an available 47 to do the move as far as I know.

    Slightly off topic, but it now seems "The Western Rocks" tour is off. Postponed until Saturday 20/03/2010 Serious problems with one of D1015s engines.

    Steady, the word serious seems to have crept in from somewhere. One of the cylinders needs changing but it will unfortunately take longer than the time available before the tour on the 31st October. The Buxton tour is being redated to Saturday 20th March and D1015's next tour will now be to Scarborough on the 05th December. Apologies on behalf of the DTG and D1015.
