A class 47 on an Anglia service! Well it does not happen that often but you can if you are really lucky still have diesel loco haulage on an express passenger train...but only on 'ONE' Norwich workings. Here we see Cotswold Rail's 47828 'Joe Strummer' on the 1230 Norwich to Liverpool Street making its stop at Stratford. Not only that but 47818 was on the back in this unusual top-n-tailed formatioin which is quite often employed on charter trains but rarely seen on a regular passenger service. And the date of this spot of excitement...the 4th October 2006.
