    Nice video
    At least the tour was a complete sell out

    I have to say I think this is brilliant. Always loved the concept of the 47/7 push pulls, and they seemed quite exotic as a southerner when they launched, and the Scotrail variant of InterCity was always the best. Nice to see one running again.
