Mostly by coincidence, all the services (except one late in the evening) were worked by class 47's, four of which had been hired in from Freightliner due to an extreme shortage with Virgin's own loco's. Here is a guide to what was a very enjoyable day. All 47's used are shown, and most of the workings are depicted. Tuesday 20 July 2004: Due to an engineering possession on Sunday 18th July 2004, Virgin West Coast Liverpool-Euston services were diverted to run via Warrington Bank Quay, requiring diesel haulage as far as Crewe for a convenient engine change. Mostly by coincidence, all the services (except one late in the evening) were worked by class 47's, four of which had been hired in from Freightliner due to an extreme shortage with Virgin's own loco's. Here is a guide to what was a very enjoyable day. All 47's used are shown, and most of the workings are depicted.

Possibly the star of the day in many eyes, although with the least impressive exhaust - sounding rather quiet too, was 47150. It worked 1T57 1320 Liverpool-Crewe, seen here at Lime Street. Copyright: Darryl

1T57 again, arriving at Warrington where it was due to leave at 1347. A bizarre set with an 87 where a DVT should be, and the DVT where the 87 should be! Copyright: Crumb

The return working for 150 was 1T19 1712 Crewe-Liverpool, although due to an earlier fault with 851 - 1T19 left Crewe just over an hour late. It was seen here before leaving Crewe. Copyright: Crumb

During the journey, 150 passed 829 (829 was working 1A79 1815 Liverpool-Crewe) at Winwick Junction. 826 was around five minutes behind 150 working 1F20 1822 Crewe-Liverpool which was around five minutes late. Copyright: Shaun C.

The first working of the day was 47810 with 1A33 0855 Liverpool-Crewe, phot'd arriving at Warrington Bank Quay at 0927. Copyright: Shaun C

On the same working, 810 powering away from a signal north of Crewe station. Copyright: Shaun C

Following 1A33 47810 worked to Holyhead and back with 1D87 1303 Crewe-Holyhead, and returned with 1A75 1610 Holyhead-Crewe. Another clag photo here of 47810 leaving with the 1D88, 1935 Crewe-Holyhead. Copyright: Shaun C.

Unfortunately the one blemish for the day was 851. While on 1T17 the loco suffered dragging brakes and the train was cancelled at Warrington. 851 came back dead on the rear of 1T72 from Warrington-Crewe behind 87028. Copyright: Crumb

Between the 18th and 24th, 47826 unusually hauled some north Wales services normally worked by HST's. It had not been since 4th December that an HST had not been available for these turns.
