On this summer Sunday back in 1981 Graham and I had no idea what this train, hauled by Crewe diesel's no heat 47366, was as there was nothing in the working timetable at this time of day that fitted its description. Only some forty years later have I discovered by the wonders of the internet that it was actually an ADEX (Away Day EXcursion) that had originated at Leamington Spa and that was heading towards Llandudno. According to the notes on the web the Class 47 took over at Birmingham New Street but I have no reporting number unless anybody knows better? The train is seen not far from its destination passing through Rhyl station.
