Now this is a FIRST at Stratford. 57601 is now part of the West Coast Rail Company fleet having previously
been a Porterbrook loco operating First Great Western Services. This is the first time we have seen
the loco in this livery...remind you another one maybe...and is a 'nice one' to get on our 'local patch'.
In its previous life it was 47825 'Thomas Telford' and for a while it was based at Norwich as a 
'thunderbird' loco which we saw once in this role. This 'video still' was taken on the 12th May 2004
as the loco with its accompanying observation coach approaches the station from the east.
