47474 Sir Rowland Hill approaches Islip on the Bicester to Oxford line with the 4C13 11:11 Calvert to Bristol Avon Binliner on 12 December 1997. 47474  was new to traffic in July 1964 as D1602. It acquired its TOPS number in February 1974, and unlike a large number of its class was not renumbered again. It was withdrawn from Crewe in March 2000 and was finally cut up at TJ Thomson's at Stockton in 2005. This was an interesting time for photographing the Avon Binliner, for although a particular loco usually stayed on the train all week, there was a variety of different liveried Class 47s employed on the train at various times, a far cry from the repetitiveness of today!
