class 20s joined by 37s

Post by nickt »

A pair of 37s rolled into town yesterday afternoon past Barton Hill. one was EWS. Later they were to be seen parked in front of the class20s in BTM visible from cattle market road ( presumed both there, could only clearly see EWS loco which was directly over road. )

One of the 37's was 37704 which was parked between the 20's in the siding next to Platform 15 on Tuesday night when I got the 16.18 to Weston. It had gone by yesterday evening, along with the 20's, which had been there for a couple of weeks, but didn't see the other 37.

That siding alongside Platform 15 at BTM has been very popular over the last few months with visiting locos. Last night Advenza Rail's 57005 and 57006 were parked there and they were still there at 7.30 this morning.
