With Sherborne Abbey just visible in the background, 47707 Holyrood heads away from the Dorset town on 25 July 1992 with the 1V11 11:15 Waterloo to Exeter St Davids Network SouthEast service. 47707 was having a quieter life in the south of England compared with its time on Scottish Edinburgh to Glasgow push pull services in the 1980s. It was the loco involved in the Polmont derailment, when the train hit a cow, and it also caught fire at nearby Falkirk a few years later! In both cases it was pushing at the rear of the train. |
