November has been a fairly barren month in terms of '47'-hauled trains, so my enthusiasm for an overnight drive to the wilds of Norfolk was somewhat greater than it might normally have been. 47854 'Diamond Jubilee' pauses at York with NENTA's 1Z82 0520 North Walsham to Newcastle charter (30/11/2013)
47854 is pictured again on arrival at Newcastle with 1Z82. The bulk of the return leg was handled by 47826, which was out of sight on the rear of the train at this point (30/11/2013)
Part of the 'master plan' involving the previous day's charter was to stay over in Norfolk for the first day of the 'Santa Specials' at the Mid-Norfolk Railway. 47579 'James Nightall GC' enjoys the early morning sunshine at Dereham (01/12/2013)
