A very shabby 47 165 heads a returning excursion that has spent the day at Clacton on Bank Holiday Monday, May 7th 1979. It is seen passing East Gate Junction signal box in Colchester, which remained in operation for another 30 years before it was closed as part of a signalling modernisation scheme.
