As the shadows deepen on Saturday 3rd March 2012 an unidentified West Coast Class 47 No.47760 heads the returning RTC 'Lincolnshire Poacher' excursion between Wrawby Junction and Howsham in North Lincolnshire as the 15.45 Cleethorpes to London King's Cross. Earlier in the day the excursion had traveled north behind BR Standard Pacific 70013, 'Oliver Cromwell' but 70013 had been declared a failure on arrival at Cleethorpes. As a result the reversal at Ulceby had been omitted and the train was running about 20 minutes early at this point.
