30th October 1997 On the 30th October 1997 Civil Engineers liveried Class 47 No.47331 makes a very rare appearance in the Taunton area operating 7V52 Sellafield - Bridgwater via Taunton nuclear flasks. Owing to the failure of the ground frame at Bridgwater the train was not able to cross from the down mainline to the up mainline in order to access the unloading facility at Bridgwater. As a result the train was sent to Taunton. Having run around its train in Fairwater Yard the locomotive is seen returning to Bridgwater. The same operation occurred a month later on the 30th of November when 37140 was sent to Taunton for the same reason. (Photo: Richard Giles)
