47445 Rossett 15 June 1985

What a transformation! In 1985 Rossett boasted four tracks and numerous semaphore signals. Today there is just a single track and no signals! 47445 heads south on 15 June 1985 with the 1V06 14:17 Bangor to Cardiff Central service. This is doubly unusual, as not only is this train diverted from its normal route because of the extensive alterations taking place at Crewe station, but it is also substituting for the more usual Class 33.
