47848 and 853, HFD

Don't know if anyone else knows of their location, or more so why they're there, but 47848 and 853 were coupled up and stabled in the HST siding at Hereford this evening at 1900. No coaching stock or anything, any ideas lads?

They should have been on their way to Cardiff Canton but were running very late

Well they were parked up in the siding with no signs of departing at 1900! Not that I'm complaining, it gave me a chance to get some photos of the locos in their location as well as the nameplates!
