Job Done
The days work is complete for this Network Rail test train, top and tailed by Colas Rail's class 37s. Here 37 521 is seen in Derby station (with 37 099 at the other end) about to head to the RTC Sidings with 1Q68 the 02.19 working from Neville Hill, Leeds. During the early hours, Saturday morning and early afternoon, the train had visited Gascoigne Wood, Hatfield & Stainforth, Scunthorpe, Worksop and Toton.
Had no idea this train was running, just happened to be in the right(ish) place at the right time. Just after I took this snap it was announced that my train to London would depart from platform 5 instead of platform 6, so it was a quick scamper over the footbridge. Unfortunately, by this time 1Q68 had departed from platform 4. At least I did get some sort of record of the working, so I count myself lucky - always good to get two class 37 shots within a couple of hours!
