Large Logos Go East!

Now with just two coaches 37403 leads 37407 into a sunny Great Yarmouth with the 12:36 Norwich - Great Yarmouth. 21/01/2019

With 2019 likely to be the last year of loco hauled action on the Wherry Lines out of Norwich it took little persuasion to get me onto a nice Mk3 rake up from London for another go at the class 37's in late January. Since my last visit the colours had changed- DRS blue loco's had been ousted by a pair of BR Large Logo liveried 37's. The pair in use had plenty of appeal for me; 37403 has made very few runs on the Anglia turn and is of course well known to be the loco belonging to the SRPS based at Bo'ness, and rumoured to be returning from DRS hire soon. The second, 37407 is the most recent loco to return to service with DRS after a staggering 18 years off the rails!
Here are a couple of pictures from a day of mixed weather - thick fog inland, but glorious sunshine on the coast! Enjoy!

Inland the fog lingers- 37407 departs from Brundall Gardens working the 13:17 Great Yarmouth - Norwich. 21/01/2019
