On 16th May, 67015 was named "David J. Lloyd" at Gobowen station. Prior to that, a sculpture was unveiled outside the station in memory of David Lloyd, former councillor, mayor, schoolteacher, and founding chairman of the Shrewsbury to Chester Rail Users' Association, and who reopened the ticket office at Gobowen station. He sadly died in September 2006, and was a vanguard of community rail partnerships before the term became fashionable. The naming and the unveiling of the sculpture took place on the first day of ACoRP's Community Rail Weekend.
