37510 t&t 37611 - Waterbeach - 18/02/21.
Rail Operations Group (ROG) 37510 'Orion' leads 6344 + 8 Ex-LNER MK3s (42122, 44031, 42104, 42161, 42171, 42172, 42219, 44056) + 6338 and classmate 37611 'Pegasus' past Waterbeach, 5Q76 0807 from Ely Papworth Sidings to Newport Docks (Simsgroup).
Due to issues with 37510, the train was taken into Cambridge Reception Sidings, where 37611 would run around the train and provide motive power for the rest of the leg to Newport. On attempting to leave Cambridge with 37611 leading, an unsolicited brake application halted the train around the Cambridge South Junction area; as a result blocking all traffic south of Cambridge for around 20 mins. The fault was then rectified to an extent which allowed the train to shunt back into Cambridge Reception Sidings. After further inspection, the fault was fully rectified, allowing the train to finally get underway towards Newport (around 124 minutes late).
