47297 Claydon (Gloucestershire) 5 September 1987

47297 passes Claydon on 5 September 1987 with the 1E56 11:00 Paignton to Newcastle service. This was in the good old days, when the UK had an integrated railway, and railfreight resources could deputise for InterCity when required. Although now such trains are DMUs, if there was a problem today the train would just be cancelled!
