67647 has gone from the bodyshop (Saturday 1430) :shock:
Yes, it was just leaving the depot when I arrived at work this morning, about 0830.

The aforementioned preparation of 67663, as recorded at the beginning and end of my duty yesterday.

The vinyls had been removed and both sides sanded down.

Also included a view of 33042 looking rather sorry for itself in the company of 32633 from the Potteries.

Not yet.

I'm sure there will be a race to report the news and post photos when it does.

67647 has returned from the paintshop, it is in the bodyshop awaiting vinyls. I expect that it will be back on the road late tomorrow or on Friday.
