'The Cornish Experience'
Bill Elston
Hi Keith,
Please find attached a photo of 47744 passing Cowley Bridge Jct. on a special from Newcastle to Newquay 15th October 1997.
Records show that this loco was named The Cornish Experience at Bristol TM by Sir William McAlpine that day, but as can be seen one 'plate is still covered. Perhaps it was unveiled at Newquay. Plates were removed in Jan 98, I never did get to see them!
Former names were Dewi Sant/Saint David and Saint Edwin; final name being Royal Mail Cheltenham.
Hope this is of interest,
Bill

Many thanks Bill - The EWS livery really did sit well on the '47s'.
