47535 University of Leicester passes Stenson Junction with the 1O09 08:12 Newcastle to Poole service on 16 October 1986. Unlike a lot of the ETS fitted Class 47s, this loco did not undergo various renumberings throughout its life, going straight from D1649 to 47535 with the advent of TOPS in 1974. Initially the number 47065 was allocated, but the fitting of ETS prevented this. The loco was named University of Leicester in 1982 and renamed Saint Aidan in 1995. |
