Suffolk man 'choos-choos chooses' his train
A railway enthusiast who saved a historically important electric train from scrap has found it a permanent home and begun its final restoration works.
Brad Wright, 22, bought the British Railways Class 309, also known as the Clacton Express, in March 2022.
He spent the next two years trying to find a home for the train before a deal was struck with the East Anglian Railway Museum at Wakes Colnes, near Colchester, from where the train once ran.
