Description
After the withdrawal of the Class 40s in the early 1980s, a variety of other locomotives were brought in to operate the services to and from Holyhead. By the early 1990s, a dedicated pool of Class 37s had been assigned to this route, quickly becoming a favourite among railway enthusiasts, both for their performance and the photographic opportunities they offered. A week-long holiday in August 1993 provided the perfect chance for our cameraman to capture a series of memorable scenes at picturesque locations along the scenic North Wales coast.
