47627 & 47745 Royal London Society for the Blind pass Little Heck on 20 March 2000 with the 1V64 14:06 Low Fell to Plymouth Royal Mail vans. This was 47627's penultimate working. It was the only Class 47 to carry unadorned EWS maroon livery, and it originally featured huge Mars 'Celebrations' advertising logos along the entire length of the bodyside, and was paired with an equally garish set of coaches for advertising purposes. The logos were quickly removed, and it spent the rest of its life in this unique colour scheme. |
