Sometimes things go nicely to plan...sometimes you need a stroke of luck...and on other occasions you just get there too late! Always a 'spotters' favourite 47829 in 'Police' livery has been involved on some stock moves in the London area and on this day...the 9th September 2004...it is 'just seen' here powering through West Hampstead Thameslink towards Bedford. Arguably it makes a different kind of picture and it does provide a close-up view of a Porterbrook Mk 1 Barrier coach...but it wasn't what was planned!
