47732 'Restormel' brings the Serco Overhead Wire Test Train into Chingford Station on Tuesday 3rd February 2004. Loco hauled trains are extremely rare on this line the most likely ones being class 37s and 66s on engineering duties. Class 47s meanwhile would have appeared here only a very few times on test trains such as this. In keeping with the planned EWS run down of its class 47 fleet, just one day later this loco had been stored and regretably may well not see any further active service.
