Class 47's Thrash Wigan

[theamateurbasher]

Smashing five star footage there. I'm doing The Edinburgh Merseyman tour soon (14/06/2008); are you bashing too, or are you just turning out to watch?

[Woolybak8]

Me and Stephen are going to Eccleston Park station to see it, then over to Wigan to see the other shitloads of tours going through, I may see it in the evening too, as I will be going to Bolton to see 40145 on the Manchester circular tour.

[theamateurbasher]

Great to hear you're turning out for it; may wave to you if you're lucky. LOL! And I hope to see you at the forthcoming KWVR diesel gala too!

[Woolybak8]

Great, you are going :) In my opinion this event is better than Long Marston by miles. By the way, what 47's are running the merseyman tour?

[theamateurbasher]

I don't know, but I'm sure we'll find out! Personally, I hope it's these two again. I still have memories of 47703 and 47832 on the same tour only two years ago.

[Woolybak8]

Im not arsed which 47's will be running, I'll go see them. Its just so I can see them on google images thats all

[theamateurbasher]

I forgot to mention that I'm on that tour from St Helens Central so I won't be able to wave to you and Stephen at Eccleston Park. I'll make sure I enjoy the bash though!

Thanks Dunky! It was murder getting from Doncaster at 5 to get to Wigan for 8! I had to interchange in both Sheffield and Salford to get there on time!
