Preserved English Electric Type 3 Class 37 Co-Co diesel locomotive 37714 just outside Loughborough Central Station on the heritage Great Central Railway in Leicestershire (UK).
37714 was built at the English Electric Vulcan Foundry Newton le Willows as D6724 in August 1961.
The locomotive was previously operated by Direct Rail Services and was listed for disposal in May 2013 after a service life of 52 years. 37714 is now preserved by the Heavy Tractor Group at the GCR.
Brand newish British Rail Class 755 3 car diesel electric Bi-Mode Multiple Unit (BMU) 755328 working the 2W20 15:20 (15:34 RT) 'Greater Anglia' Ipswich- Cambridge service train at Stowmarket Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in the County of Suffolk (UK).
Note the 25kV pick up pantograph is down and the train is running under diesel power despite running from Ipswich under OHLE. The train will head off the electrified Great Eastern Main Line just north of Stowmarket were the line to Cambridge is unelectrified.
The Class 755 BMU's were a direct replacement from 2019 for the ancient Class 156 'Sprinter' DMU trains that operated on rural Greater Anglia secondary lines.
755403 was built for Greater Anglia by Stadler Rail at their facility in Bussnang Switzerland as one of the Stadler 'FLIRT' (Fast Light Intercity and Regional Train) modular family of trainsets.
The Class 755 bi-mode units should not be confused with the almost identical looking Stadler Rail 'FLIRT' Class 745 Electric (only) Multiple Units which are also operated by Greater Anglia.
Note the Dellner type coupling system in the big ugly hole at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.
Greater Anglia had an option to have a cover fitted in these coupling holes by Stadler but declined for cost and ease of maintenance reasons.
