9th Sept 1994

InterCity-liveried 47520 is taking a westbound mail train along the up goods/slow line near Marshfield at 15.40. This could be the late running Cardiff Central to Barton Hill, Bristol empty mail vans, which was booked to run on a Wednesday and Friday (this was a Friday), or it could be the 1M06 Swansea to London Paddington mail train. I'll never know!
Up to July this year the locomotive was named "Thunderbird"! It was scrapped in Rotherham in 1998.
