Let's Ride ... Class 37 up the West Coast Mainline
So I got to ride in the cab of the 37 and talk to Rob about his job, and just why these trains are so well loved, and still running after 60 years in service!
First train up was the 0S08 0732 Crewe South Yard to Kilmarnock
The return journey was 5Q36 1424 Kilmarnock to Allerton Depot with 769 450
