What a sight and sound this must have been!
Brand new class 37's D6915 (37215) & D6918 (37218) start their delivery run to Doncaster via the Chat Moss route.
First allocation was Landore in South Wales and between them they clocked up 22 million miles in service.
Astonishingly both have survived and one into preservation. 37215 at the Gloucester & Warwicks and 37218 still in service with DRS
