    37676 & 37516 were on the ECS today but 47787 pulling it apparently caught fire. The 37's took the whole lot back to Crewe where 47851 was put on - but I've heard no more since 14:30.

    Photos on my fotopic website.

    Hello All,

    A collection of twelve photographs taken when I joined Spitfire Railtour's "The Jorvic Growler" to York last Saturday have been uploaded to my fotopic website. While there in the historic city, I made my first visit to the superb National Railway Museum.
    So please click on the link below and hopefully enjoy.

    The ETH problem was with one of the coaches, not the 47.
