Description
To further extend the life of the legendary Class 37s, as well as reducing their CO2 emissions, Europhoenix have set up 37218 to run on Hydrated Vegetable Oil, which I was fortunate enough to catch in Bletchley on one of its first runs.

As I was waiting for the train to appear, I observed the Tesco class 88 getting nearer on RTT, and worried I would get bowled, so was delighted to see it appear shortly after the 37 passed, giving me a really lovely double shot!
