47703 (the black ex-FM rail 47 seen on the Yarmouth drags last year) took part in a farewell run on the Wensleydale Railway on the 9th March before being sent off to scrap.

47813 has now been fitted with OTMR (Basically the black box that records all the drivers actions) so can now be used on Network Rail. The work was carried out at Norwich Crown Point.

47810 is rumoured to be heading to Stockton soon (don't know if it is for operational reasons or scrap but I will find out).

47818 has had it's ONE branding removed and sports all over blue (like some of the Class 90's).

From WNXX and Anglia Gen:

47703 has been brought by an unknown buyer and is off to Barrow Hill to returned to mainline use.

47714 (Turquoise Anglia) has been brought by HNRC but it's future is unknown due to the high price of scrap and previous HNRC aquisitions going to the cutters after being raided for spares.

47828 failed with leaky header tank yesterday (18/3/0 Cool

and was hauled dead from Colchester to Crown Point by 90035. 47813 will be Thunderbird loco today for the first time after OTMR fitment.
