A text message indicated that 47851 was on the 1905 to Holyhead so a quick dash from Stratford to Euston was made. Unfortunately it was 'DIT' or 'Dead in Tow' on the back rather than actually hauling the train. Still it was only the second time we have seen this loco since Autumn 2001 so the trip was still worth it...but only just as the approaching Silver Link class 321 'Dusty Bin' could easily have 'bowled out' any view at all! The date 25th June 2004.
