Photographed this at Southall. Leading vehicle was named Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but couldn't see a number. Internet research suggests it is 800004

Can anyone please tell me which Class 68 was paired top and tail with 68024 'Centaur' in Norfolk last Weds (21st June)?

I saw it from a boat between St Olaves and Reedham (about 11am in direction of Reedham) but didn't catch the rear Loco?

The following day I saw a yellow 'test train' from a distance near Acle heading towards Yarmouth and wondered if anyone knew what was on this? It was around 5 to 5:30pm (at Acle)

Thanks

68024 has been paired T'n'T 68002 "Intrepid" for the past couple of weeks on the Greater Anglia Short set.

Test train was 37175 + 97301 (Colas + Network Rail Yellow) on 1Q98 http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/H20142/2017/06/22/advanced - here's one of several pics of it from Flickr (courtesy "Class313"): https://flic.kr/p/W3QbWV

66505 on 4S88 is your first one.

Any further clues on the 68 - was it in the "normal" Compass livery or the "plain blue" that the recent batch are in?

I believe the 47 is 47812 - on hire to DRS from ROG and worked to Willesden yesterday with "Caroline" - https://flic.kr/p/URpLFS (courtesy Rob Reedman). It was showing as being at Willesden DRS first thing this morning then was on the following workings AFAIK:

http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U35745/2017/06/26/advanced Willesden Brent DRS - Kensington Olympia
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U35756/2017/06/26/advanced Kensington Olympia - Kensington Olympia circular trip
http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/U35757/2017/06/26/advanced - return to Willesden Brent DRS (a. 17:03 - so would've been back for your sighting c.8pm).

Added a bit more info about the 47 (47812) and its travels today in original reply above.

There's no 88s south of Rugby/Daventry at the moment, so will be a 68.

UPDATE:
Leading contender is 68008, as was showing as being at Willesden Brent at c.8.30pm

The only other non-Chiltern one possibly in that area this evening was 68009 - which TOPS is showing as "Wembley L.M.D." - but that's what TOPS shows for the 68s on Chiltern duties wherever they are. I'm fairly sure it would've been 008 you saw. Now confirmed by Chrisncal54 that it was...
