47830, 11.01 Wolverton Centre Sidings-Crewe Basford Hall (4G97, 25E), Northampton station Just as the tail of the previous train, the 4Z43 07.44 Chaddesden Sidings-Wembley Reception Sidings led by veteran 56301, disappeared from view the 4G97 appeared led by an even older locomotive! 47830 (formally 47061 and 47649) 'Beeching's Legacy' leads the 11.01 Wolverton Works (Centre Sidings) to Crewe Basford Hall. This short train was conveying a short rake of former MGR hoppers that are used for barrier work when towing various units. The contrast between the smart appearance of the Class 47 and the graffiti-ridden state of the wagons is extremely marked! Approaching its sixtieth year in operation 47830 trumps the previously seen 56301 at forty-five years but with a combined age of over one hundred years does it dispel the notion that we have a modern railway?
