A Compass tours charter train from Crewe stands in platform 6 at Aberdeen station on 25 September 2009. Two-tone green class 47 no D1916 remains on the train as 66016 runs back through platform 7 in readiness to take the tour back south. There should have been two Class 47s involved but one had disgraced itself at Lancaster on the outward journey and D1916 had hauled the train (13 coaches and the dead Class 47) over Shap to Carlisle where the failure was removed and replaced by 66016.
