Colas Rail Class 47 No. 47749 'Demelza' hauls the 14:50 Washwood Heath to Boston Docks empty covered steel carriers through Willington on 14th October 2013. Unfortunately No. 47749 failed at Sleaford on the return working from Boston, and early the next morning recently refurbished Class 56 No. 56113 was sent to recover this working, but also failed at Whitacre Junction. Later the third Colas Rail Locomotive Class 47 No. 47739 rescued the two errant locomotives and returned them to Washwood Heath.
