Description
*Thursday 15th July 1999* - Class 37 locomotive 37519 hauling Wales & West’s 2V74 1103 Weymouth to Bristol Temple Meads service. I think a fairly rare working for a class 37/5, normally a class 37/4 worked this passenger service as class 37/5 normally pull freight, plus I believe they cant provide any heating - not that it was needed being summer!

This video is the starting section from Weymouth to Frome. I filmed 37519 running round to the end of the coaches having earlier brought in the stock via Wales & West’s 2O86 0830 Bristol Temple Meads to Weymouth service. Quite a fast run, appears to reach around 85 mph on the descent of Brewham bank based on timing between the mileposts.
