2021 The Year that Just Keeps On Giving!
On the 10th May 2021 Class 37/5 no. 37688 'Great Rocks' passes Cockwood with the 5Z37 Crewe Holding Sidings to Laira Traction & Rolling Stock Maintenance Depot ecs. High tide, construction livery and sun. I would have taken that in 1991 let alone 2021!
If rumours are to be believed these coaches are going to be used with spare power cars in Cornwall to increase the number of short sets to cover for the out of service IETS. You just couldn't make it up especially just identifying the faults as long distance passenger service demand should pick up after months in lock down!
