5th March 1990

An unidentified west-bound parcels train heads down the hill with large logo 47481 at the helm. There were several parcels trains each day on this route, and it's hard to think that they have now all gone.
This was a Crewe-based engine at the time, but would transfer over to Tinsley, Sheffield in November, where it received an unofficial name of "Sunstar". This was the last livery it carried and it was scrapped at Beeston, Nottinghamshire, in 2003.
