LPPC DSL BW 0405 Hurrying westwards in 1976 is a Brush Type 4 Class 47 on a West of England express. By this time, train reporting codes were being electronically communicated from signalbox to signalbox, so there was no need any more for locomotives to display them. Hence the 0000 in the loco’s headcode box. Someone has obviously made some sort of almost successful effort to line up the zeros. Unusual! Keywords: BR, Twyford, Class 47, Passenger, BR, Western
