CLASS 47s: From Inverness to Penzance 1982-85

Class 47s: From Inverness to Penzance 1982–85

The Class 47 diesel locomotives were a mainstay of British Rail with 512 built in the 1960s. They were a daily sight throughout the UK, working express passenger and heavy freight trains as well as local passenger and wagon-load freight all over Britain. This book records the years from 1982 to 1985 and many days spent trying to travel behind all 507 of the Class 47s that were still in traffic at that time. It details the triumphs and disasters faced during these travels and contains a wide variety of colour photographs of Class 47s at work from Inverness to Penzance.
