5th July 2013
Following slightly behind a Saltburn - Torquay charter on the was Colas Rail Freight on the 5th July 2013. The company was moving a set of overhauled HOBC wagons from Cardiff Canton back to Fairwater Yard. Class 47/7 No.47739 'Robin of Templecombe' was used for the duty. The loco is named after former Colas driver Robin Gould who was the last ex-Templecome S & D driver. Sadly Robin passed away earlier this year, but the loco continues to carry his memory around the UK where ever it goes. No.47739 is pictured passing Banklands operating as 6Z56 15:12 Cardiff Canton - Fairwater Yard.
