Description
Filmed over the course of a week at Swindon Railway Station, this video captures a fascinating mix of modern and classic traction passing through this historic Great Western location.

Highlights include Class 37 No. 37608 running as 37512 following an impressive repaint, working in company with 37501 while delivering a Class 175 unit for use with Great Western Railway. A rare and eye-catching movement that’s great to see on the main line.

We also catch Class 37 No. 37607 on a circular test train from Cardiff to Cardiff, seen changing direction at Swindon before heading back on itself down the Stroud Valley line — a particularly interesting working and a treat for enthusiasts.

Rounding out the video is a collection of Freightliner Class 66s, all caught in action at Swindon, showcasing the constant flow of freight traffic through the station.

If you enjoy UK diesel traction, test trains, repaints, and everyday railway action, this one’s for you. Thanks for watching — and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more railway content.
