A railtour returning to Bridlington heads west at Wigton on 16 April 2016. Expectation of a steam locomotive heading this part of the tour had resulted in quite a few locals turning up but a Class 47 deputised. With the plume of exhaust it perhaps was trying to represent Galatea which had been booked to pass.
