D1015 Western Champion passes Islip on 6 July 2024 with the UK Railtours 1Z79 15:15 Cranmore to East Midlands Parkway 'Westbury Wizzo' railtour. This passed a couple of minutes before the sun reappeared from behind a large cloud, although had the sun been out, it would have been very backlit. The wreath on the front of the locomotive commemorates Andy Venn, from the Diesel and Electric Preservation Group, who sadly passed away a couple of days earlier. |
