21/04/89: 47461 at Inverness with the 1230 to Glasgow. 461 was the only 47/4 to receive the "Scotrail" blue stripe livery. 461's last working was a 'Pennine' into Liverpool on 17/11/90, after which it was retired to Allerton for brake repairs. The next day it was being reversed into some stock after no fault had been found at Lime Street and it smashed into the stock of a Liverpool-Euston it was about to drag, and was soon written off. Interestingly, the no.1 end cab (seen here) was salvaged to repair 568, which got pranged at Bristol Bath Road, and survives today (for now) on stored 47726. Copyright: Andy Barnes
