47853 is seen on a car train passing Didcot Parkway on March 18th 2003. This was a very unusual turn for this loco having been hired in especially for this working when it is more likely to be seen on passenger charter trains. It is also the only mainline loco to have ever carried this livery XP64, firstly in the 1960's and again since being re-painted in it last year.
