The days of the Crewe Works test trains on the North Wales Coast and ex works Railfreight Red stripe liveried 37679 reverberates through Abergele & Pensarn with the outward working from Crewe. 37679 was allocated to the aggregates pool working out of Peak Forest immediately after this.
* From 1985 onward the decision was made to run a dedicated test train along the NWC route for the 37/4's during their refurbishment at Crewe works. In latter years this was dispensed with and the traction was attached on the front of a scheduled timetabled working to Holyhead.
