Class 37s at Blackpool North

DRS 37402 with Northern EMU 319446 and new CAF Civity DMU 195103


Two Direct Rail Services Class 37s visited Blackpool North Railway Station today on a Network Rail test train. The train was parked up alongside platform 2 for several hours, with DRS 37423 at the seaward end of the train and 37402 "Stephen Middlemore" at the other end.

    1. It must be nice to have a loco named after your Dad, I only found out about it last thing via a text. Unfortunately enthusiasts are banned from the platform side at Blackpool North, so I couldn't get a photo of the 37 at the other end of the train.
