Although working for Railfreight Distribution, 47555 still wears InterCity livery (albeit with the branding painted out) on 20 July 1995, as it passes Kings Sutton with the lightly loaded 4M29 17:20 Didcot to Crewe MoD stores. In a matter of weeks it would lose this tatty colour scheme in favour of the then current RfD livery, and would also receive white wheel rims and buffer edges.
