The opening of the Harwich Mayflower Railway and Shipping Museum at Harwich Town station on Sunday 15 April coincided with the arrival of special train organised by Charity Railtours top and tailed by Class 37 diesel 37669 and Class 47 diesel 47506.
B17 SLT were represented on both the special train and at Harwich Town station. On the train, Richard Taylor co-hosted a train raffle with Stratford 47 Group. At Harwich the B17 stand had been erected by the entrance to the museum and was manned by Geoff Starns and Eddie Savage. The museum is located in the previously derelict Harwich Town station buildings which have been leased to the Harwich Mayflower Heritage Centre.
