37403 Thrashes Springs Branch - 13th May 2025
The class 37 was hauling British Railways Mark 1 restaurant or kitchen coach. 80043 from the Bo'ness railway in Scotland south to the LSL depot at Crewe.
Having been held at Wigan North Western to allow passenger services to overtake the train opened up here. Not the most ideal spot thanks to a Network Rail OHLE train sat on slows blocking my usual position. The 37 running early times with a Manchester to Wigan train.
It worked out pretty well anyway. Nothing I enjoy more than seeing 37s in this livery speeding along.
