47485 Kenilworth 4 January 1986

On a bitterly cold 4 January 1986, with frost on the ballast and vegetation, 47485 passes Kenilworth with the 1S39 07:34 Poole to Glasgow Central service. The 47 would be replaced by an electric loco at Coventry. Even by 1986 rail blue was still the predominant livery on the national network, or during the winter months rail blue and dirt, as seen here! A single InterCity livery coach has appeared in the otherwise uniform rake of blue and grey stock.
