A motley collection of first-generation diesels at Carnforth. Wearing its Fragonset livery and branding 47355 leads the lineup with Advenza blue 57005 next. In a rather fetching green livery is 47768 and not 47555 as indicated by the painted number on the cabside. Beyond the green machine is a very tatty 37712, shunter 08418 with 47787 at the far end. Another example of how WCR keep such untidy and poor order. Why have your tattiest and worst assets on full show to the masses like this? To Joe Public, it just looks like a scrapyard which it is, I suppose, in truth!
NB I took a very similar photograph back in 2013, see....
