Twice to Holyhead

19th December 2000


As we approach Chester we spy 37 893 on a short engineers train


I take my leave of 37 429 but Rowan continues to Crewe. Alastair also alights for a run behind the 47.


Three minutes later we're surprised by 56 011 with a coal train, probably destined for Gobowen



Then 12 minutes later at 12:02, 66 224 passes east through the goods loop with three empty timber wagons.

The 47 arrives
