37611 drags 331009 through Wigan - 30th November 2023

Rail Operations Group Class 37, 37611 thrashes Wigan North Western on the morning of Thursday 30th November 2023 whilst working a DMU drag from Allerton to Skipton. The locomotive was taking a 3 car Class 331 unit, 331009 over to Yorkshire in exchange for a 4 car unit which it would drag back over later in the day.

While it is arguably a good thing to see 3 car trains replaced by 4 car trains it has actually largely been a step backwards as while 3 car sets were ran in pairs forming 6 car trains the 4 car units are not run in pairs resulting in trains being short-formed from 6 cars down to 4 :/

Due to the positioning of the winter sun (and the lack of cloud for a change) I have really had to tweak the colour balance to try and make the image clearer.

A video of this train is available here; youtu.be/UU3rpjgzMj0
Best enjoyed with the sound up :)
