The final weekend run of the DRS class 37s R.H.T.T. at Nunnery Main Line Junction - 8219/221

            Running to time on this day of a revised schedule, DRS class 37s, 37402 ex-D974 'Stephen Middlemore 23.12.1954 - 8.6.2013' with 'B.R. Large Intercity Logo' on the side, though difficult to see again due to the grime, with 37716, ex-D6794, once named 'British Steel Corby' is on the return working 3S13, Gainsborough Central to Sheffield. This day's workings were-
3Z11, 37402 37716 York Thrall Europa to Sheffield
3Z13, 37716 37402 Sheffield to Gainsborough Central
3S13, 37402 37716 Gainsborough Central to Sheffield
3Z14, 37716 37402 Sheffield via Doncaster to Selby and
3Z15, 37402 37716 Selby to York Thrall Europa.
The 'Z' indicating that a non-timetable diagram has been undertaken, the only 'normal' one, 3S13, being the one seen here. With the sprays on and far enough away not to get a dousing, the other guy grabs his shot over the fence whilst I stand atop my 3-step ladder to clear the palisade and view 37402 pass by in 'thrumming' excellence on the working into Sheffield for a reversal on to Selby. Looks like Network Rail are intermittently working on the trackside here with bags of ballast, railhead along with a 'ReadyPower Rail Services' unit, No. FR1408 912400-7, parked up having ploughed a furrow of mud all the way along to the Bernard Road bridge behind the camera. The backward flowing spray from the jest looks to have cleaned off a bit of the grime from the FEA-B RHTT A Tank Wagons at the rear and the 37 at the back, 37716, also looks a bit cleaner than 'Stephen Middlemore' at the front. In the distance, behind the 'ReadyPower Rail Services' unit, is the Nunnery Supertram/Tram-Train Depot, which was once occupied by the extensive L.N.W.R. carriage sidings to the right of which was the Nunnery Engine Shed. To the immediate right of the 'Rail Services Unit' in the picture, was the 'Palissy Oil, Grease & Soap Works' beyond which was the L.N.W.R.'s Nunnery Goods Station; how times have changed. Not one jot of any of this now remains, although the bricked up tunnel, taking one of the L.N.W.R.'s lines under Woodburn Road in the distance, at the exit of the Tram depot, can easily be seen.
