To those wondering why there's no 47: It's because the route the train takes to Cardiff is via the Heart of Wales line, the same route the Push-Pull tour took with the same pair of 37s the other week. Nothing bigger than a 37 can run on that line, so they couldn't bring a 47 with them. So instead they put the Generator Car on the train and 60007 ran to Holyhead and back solo, turning using the triangle at Valley.

I’m guessing SNG hasn’t got clearance to run on CWL but they could’ve put a Black 5 on
