Description
Since starting spotting I've really wanted to see a class 37, and have had really bad luck trying to get to see one over the last few months, so I was delighted to finally catch Rail Operations Group Class 37 no 37800 thrashing through Finsbury Park on an empty stock movement, it felt so cool to finally hear the tractor engine in person after seeing it online so much, and I think the Rog livery looks really spectacular.
I was also happy to catch some 801s, an 802, a 387, and a 180 on their way in and out of kings cross, its a really lovely contrast seeing these trains powering up/down having spent lots of time seeing them at max speed through Arlesey.
