IMG_1908x2 37410+417 Bingley

With DRS seemingly having done a u turn on its planned rebuild,Its date with the scrapman has just been delayed into the new year,so here is what has turned out to be the final passenger fling for 37410 "Aluminium 100" which was stood down at the end of 2007 was nothing more than not having OTMR fitted,Having driven into the hills and the cloud for Pathfinders "Festive Yorkshireman" we were driving home disappointed along the A650 when we caught the tour up near Bingley as it was slowing behind a stopping unit......unsure where to dive in, a hasty stop by the Dowley Gap underbridge and a quick scramble up the bank gave us just enough time for a grab shot as the driver applied full power as 37410 leads 37417 away from Bingley running as the 1Z37 0530 Swindon-Leeds charter which had ran via Carnforth on 1st Dec 07....while 37410 never returned,37417 lasted another year before poor ews maintenance saw it blow its power unit apart.2013 will see them both in Booths together as DRS have lost interest
