FUTURE CLASS 47 WORKINGS AND EVENTS FOR 2008/9, last updated: 27/11/2008 Provided as a reference place for your diary during 2008/9 ------ Notes: ------ Please note: for trains shown as WCR/WCRC (see the key at the end) under the loco section... these are POSSIBLY 47 hauled - either throughout or partially through a tour and not necessarily booked for 47's and are "Unspecified Traction". Some operators intentions for TOC or traction and rolling stock provider are unclear, and these trains are denoted by the addition of a “?” e.g. RTLO?. All information is supplied in good faith, therefore accuracy over time cannot be guaranteed. Refer to the key at the foot of the page for operator codes.
