An unusual New Year's Eve convoy emerges from the Standedge Tunnel and rolls through the site of Diggle station beginning the descent towards Manchester. 40034, the former Accra, hauls three Brush Type 4s, 47010, 47402 and 47013. 47402, the former D1501, survives to this day preserved on the East Lancashire Railway. The other three were not so fortunate.
