WCRC Class 47 No. 47826 stands at Edinburgh Waverley on 7th December 2022, with the empty stock from a railtour from Lancaster. The tour had been delayed 45 minutes at Oxenholme due to a broken rail and another 100 minutes at Penrith for another broken rail caused by the overnight freezing conditions. Spirited running from Carlisle and the omission of pathing stops had reduced the arrears to 87 minutes on arrival at Edinburgh. No. 47826 is about to work the 11.10 empty stock to Joppa Straight near Craigentinny via Haymarket and the Edinburgh Suburban Line, departs from 87 minutes late.
