Its was just like the old days...1998 to be precise when we first started...to see a pair of class 47s coming off the bend at Stratford from the N.London line in daylight hours, both under power. Then they were RfD locos but on the 15th of January 2004 they were Freightliner's led by 47303 then 47358. Even the weather was the same...damp and grey!.
