47575
- 47730 47175 D1770
Locomotive 47575 was named 'CITY OF HEREFORD' at Hereford
Station on 26/06/85. When EWS retired the locomotive in August
1999 the loco went into store at Motherwell Depot after failure
on a Margam - Trostre working. It was due to be moved to Crewe
Diesel Depot for repairs, but shortage of space meant the loco
was dumped at Cardiff prior movement to Motherwell on 09/02/01.
In June 2004, Riviera Trains purchased 47575 and had it
immediately moved to Barrow Hill for repairs and repainting into
Post Office Red livery. The locomotive will be renamed 'CITY
OF HEREFORD' later in 2008.
This
dual-braked locomotive will return not return to operational use
during the future. Due to many wiring faults 47575 is now stored
at Crewe and will be kept as a donor to keep the rest of the
fleet operational. |
