Yuri,  One of those photographers was me!  I didn't realise it was you.
I can't believe my luck - Out of a sheer coincidence, my 'group' was going
to chase 9083 anyway - And then X47 turned up on the front!  I don't chase
/ watch diesels very often, but when I do, it's worth it!

We caught up with it at Malmesbury Viaduct at 16:20 and at Harcourt in the
last sunlight at 16:50.
