Description
Rail Operations Group class 37 locomotive 37884 "Cepheus" wearing the Europhoenix livery is seen thrashing north along the west coast main line and through Wigan North Western on a wet and miserable afternoon of Tuesday 14th January 2024.

The class 37 Locomotive was dragging Northern Trains passenger unit class 769431 from Allerton Depot situated just east of Liverpool South Parkway on Merseyside all the way to 1129 Allerton Depot to Kilmarnock Bonnyton Depot in Scotland via a reversal at Edge Hill.

I would imagine the train is due some modifications or overhaul as that's generally what jobs Kilmarnock does I believe.

Having set off around 45 late she lost more time at Edge Hill running around. This worked out well as it meant a free shot after 66717 ran north and the Blackpool to Liverpool express shifted.
