23/09/90: 47605 at Carlisle, on a Birmingham New Street to Edinburgh (it worked the service throughout, via Manchester and Shap). The train really was actually booked to be a class 47 throughout, but it was supposed to be the 'Scottish' one that had worked 1V33 - on this day this should have been 47633 but this had been declared defective in the midlands.

25/09/90: In a world (outside of NSE or PTE areas) of bland colours, the appearance of the new parcels livery was quite stunning. 47559 'Sir Joshua Reynolds' was seen above at Reading on a parcels train heading for London. In the archive pages, 559 is listed as working 1F52 1808 Paddington-Oxford on Thursday 27th September 1990, but no other passenger workings are known for that week. Parcels livery was last carried by 47575 in 2009, but this was painted out of the livery before the 20th anniversary of the first red+grey 47. The successor to the design, the Res livery, (at the start of 2010) is still carried by 47492 to an extent and fully on 524, 707, 716, 746, 761, 765, 770, 771, 772 and 776.

30/09/90: 47489 at Glasgow Central, it hauled this drag to Stafford, via the Glasgow and South Western route and Manchester(!) It worked in tandem with 90005 from Carlisle-Preston, something which bizarly occurred several Sundays running at the time. Copyright: Andy Barnes
