829 again, at Southampton Maritime on 5th March 2004, this being during a lengthy period in which the loco spent most of its time working to and from Southampton.

Following the failure of 47749 with a badly arcing traction motor while working 1K57 0745 Holyhead-Crewe on Wednesday 3rd March 2004, 732 was returned to traffic from 'warm store'. The loco moved north by working a 0Z47 Temple Mills-Willesden and then 7T82 1200 Willesden-Basford Hall freight working on 8th March. Its first passenger train after this was the following days 1D45 1719 Manchester-Holyhead.

Cue the 'way out' puns again! 47750 roles in to Chester with 1D65 1021 Crewe-Holyhead on Saturday 13th March. 750 wasn't shown the way out for much longer than was expected, it was thought it would be switched off at the end of March but managed to last in to the summer until a big failure.

A loco that almost returned but didnt quite. In plain black, 47375 moved from Barrow Hill early in the year to Derby, but was subsequently robbed of its repaired parts for other loco's. 13/03/04.
