Class 47 Swansong?
47749 dragged 701528 to Eastleigh for mileage accumulation running on 26 January 2024, running as 5Q20, 09:20 ex Litchurch Lane. With Class 701 deliveries almost complete and GBRf having recently acquired 4 Class 57/3s fitted with Dellner couplers, not to mention the fitting of similar devices to the latest Class 69s, the future doesn't look too bright for the 3 GBRf Class 47s.
