47829 in its POLICE livery returns through Dawlish on Saturday 4th July 2002. This is not the first British loco to be painted into a POLICE livery. 
In the 1980s a class 37 was put into one for a British Rail advertisement. This was for a relatively short period and it never entered mainstream service in this condition.
