WCRC Class 47 No. 47802 passes Long Preston on a bitterly cold 18th December 2022, with a 11.51 Lancaster - Preston luncheon railtour which utilised the Spirit of the Lakes rolling stock which largely comprises the former Manchester Pullman vehicles and operated via Carnforth, Hellifield, Blackburn and Wigan (reverse) to Preston. Classmate No. 47772 Carnforth TMD was on the rear. Although not a strike day Northern elected not to operate any services beyond Skipton so this and another WCRC tour were the only trains to pass Long Preston on this day.
