Rail Operations Group Thank the NHS with messages on their Class 47 locomotives

Rail Operations Group has announced that they have applied messages to two of their Class 47 diesel locomotives saying “Thank You NHS”.

Both Class 47s will spread the “Thank You NHS” message across the UK when carrying out the various services Rail Operations Group undertake, such as rolling stock delivery, testing, maintenance, modification and refurbishment.

ROG follows in the footsteps of the likes of Northern, Southern and Thameslink in applying vinyls to thank the front line workers in the fight against Coronavirus.

“Along with the whole of the UK, Rail Operations Group are incredibly appreciative of the sterling effort all those in the NHS are making towards fighting the coronavirus, especially those on the frontline.

“To mark our appreciation, we have adorned two of our 95mph Class 47 express locomotives with a very simple but sincere message: ‘Thank you NHS’. These locomotives will deliver this message across the whole of the UK for all to share.”
