Dont worry i wasnt bothered about number anyway i dont really keep track of numbers not really my thing, i would of only used to search for pictures of it on railway herald.

didnt realise any 47/57's were left in FL nice
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
IF wikipedia is correct it was 57001 which is the only 47/57 still left on freightliner books it is currently stored so could of been that

It probably is, however I thought it was in Crewe Basford Hall, as thats were I saw It Last as they were using it as a super shunter.

 

[YorkshireBear]

well as of 2009 it was the only 57/47 in FL, has midland road got better maintenance or anything like that?

Im led to believe from the lists that 57001 is the Freightliner 57 present at Midland Road?
And the Colas 66 is on a trial I think - worked from Washwood Heath via Huddersfield last Friday.

Wnxx.com has confirmed that it is 57001 at Leeds Midland Road, undergoing repairs. It was moved across from Basford Hall on October 29th.
