I'm not sure that Island line is a separate TOC - one missing I think from the rest

Stanstead Express?

Not a separate TOC any more. Similarly I'm not counting Gatwick Express or Heathrow Connect.

Is this the one that was renumbered 47046, then 47601, then 47901 ?

Fine for the numbers, but I was looking for a bit more.

Not too sure, but was this the one that in January 1976, divested of its bogies, became a short-term temporary stationary exciter for the CEGB at West Thurrock.

Not that one Paul, but what happened to it first occured in 1976 and is relevant to its renumbering.

As 47601, it was used to test the engine for the Class 56 locomotive fleet.
As 47901, it was used to test the engine for the Class 58 locomotive fleet.
As 47901, it was used to test the engine for the Class 58 locomotive fleet.

Correct, therefore becoming a type 5 locomotive

Absolutely correct. The Closed Stations Journey quiz can be interesting for such arcane snippets of information...
I note that OPEN FLOOR has been declared.

Godstone Road/ Caterham Junction were all previous names of the present Purley station...
It is not the answer I am looking for...
