1/47278 1403 Euston - Rugby (vice 310, steaming 40L) Sunday Feb 13th 1983
47278
arrives at Tring, 130283
Around 40 down we were greeted with the unlikely prospect of 47278 steaming in with 9 Mk I's in tow forming
the late running 1403 Euston - Rugby instead of the booked 310 unit. Only the rear 4 coaches were not locked out but the
47 was loud in Tring Cutting. At Bletchley the train was terminated with DMU 56181/50512 going forward.
47278 returned ECS to Wembley to work its return footex to Sheffield.
47278's consist was 25171, 26208, 26047, 34665, 25635, 26054, 26147, 26178, 35419 .
2/ 25268 0802 Bletchley - Bedford St Johns Monday Feb 14th 1983
After a DMU failure the school train needed something kicked out. From the Field Sidings 25268 coupled
up to BG 81461 and BSK 35329 and shunted into the platform. This is probably the train onto which
Bletchley station loaded platform benches onto the BG for the kids to sit on! The 25 presumably returned
on the 0846 Bedford SJ - Bletchley too
