Notes :
(1) Steve Pizzey comments: 47847 started sounding rough on the run round at
Peterborough on Sunday morning. We had to wait a while for the over-running
total possession at Whittlesey to be lifted. The train then sat at Bury St
Edmunds for about 15 minutes before continuing. The class 47 was failed/removed
at Ipswich and I believe a class 37 went forward to Norwich.
