    Due to a shortage of DMUs for local services top and tail class 47s have been used on the Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth lines. This is for around for who knows long. So I ventured out to Haddiscoe to see them, tired continuous shoot mode which seemed to blur them. I need some practice on it.
    Anyway here are the ones that were OK, I didn't wait for the return due to fear of losing my fingers to frostbite!

    One of the 47s was having troubles so for today (today might be the last day due to a DMU finishing its exam) one of the DRS choppers was stuck on the back.
