Whilst waiting for our train to Bristol, my mates and I witnessed 47239 pass through Bradford-on-Avon at speed on what I can only assume to be a Weymouth relief train.

Apologies for the motion blur in this image but the maximum 1/150sec. shutter speed was simply not fast enough to freeze this train! This locomotive is still with us in 2020 now operated by Rail Operations Group undertaking various stock moves around the country running as 47812, see... https://www.ontheupfast.com/p/21936chg/29418723204/x2-47812-05-41-chaddesden-sidings
