Virgin 47s in summer 2005
Sadly, this is a much shorter report than last year's as Virgin had officially
phased out 47s. We were treated to the occasional working when 57s and Pendolinos
were unavailable. 47 816 enjoyed a Sunday outing on 16th
June
It's seen here approaching the Britannia Bridge from Anglesey
The sun caught me out here... DRS 47 501 makes a surprise
showing on 17th July
Former Virgin loco 47 828,
now
named Joe Strummer, was hired in on Sunday 7th August
