On the sunny afternoon of Wednesday 16th September "ghost Grid" 56311 hauled 3 Class 87s and a Class 86 from Long Marston to Crewe.
Evidently there was something wrong with the 87s after final testing at Crewe, , and they found themselves being taken back to Long Marston a week later behind blue Class 47 47839 'Pegasus'.

The two green Bulgarian-liveried 87s are 87013-9 and 87014-7. The BR blue 87 is 87004-8..
The tasty NSE-liveried Class 86 is 86401 'Northampton Town'.
Some 'cut-off' shots are included to show details etc.

  • Thanks, a colourful combo !

  • Great vid, 5*.

  • Many thanks. I was lucky on the first move with 56311 as the train was booked via Bescot but switched to the Park at the last minute giving me just enough time to get to Ryecroft !

  • 5* favs! Excellent

  • Cheers H. The 47 crept up on me with no horn until the last second which means I missed it and only got a short video sequence...
