An excellent video. I remember this class of locomotive regularly performing on the Manchester to Harwich boat train in the mid sixties and being the mainstay on the East Anglia lines via Cambridge, together with the older Brush Type 3s. Many thanks for posting.
Interesting recollection. I watched the Harwich Boat train arrive at Piccadilly around 14.00 and depart at 14.40 in 1970/72 from the tower block of the university (UMIST). I was mystified where it had come from, and fascinated when I learned the diverse places it passed through as it wove its way across England - Harwich and Manchester seemed different planets.
Still need to do the Cumbrian Coast line myself someday and make the most out of these beasts, there's something magical about seeing the sets in regular public service rather than your DMUs - especially when they pass next to each other like that.
It is a Push-Pull arrangement, the driver remotely controls the 37 from the DBSO Coach which has a cab to remotely "pilot" the proper engine. They used to use them with Class 47s in Scotland.
something u don't see every day well back in the good old days of loco hauled passenger trains is this scene I'm quite surprised at seeing this I mean this is how it should be with the railways but not now how come they have these services running its always crappy lines of carriages nowadays I hope they do bring back these kind of services all of UK
@@Pluggit1953 Oh yes! Then again i could see Hyacinth Bucket and his husband Richard waitin there for 'a person of someone very important' to arrive ... :)

The driver, Joe Cool, making a friendly sunny afternoon stop at St. Bees. Beautiful remembrance from a past time.

Young driver. Bet its a great feeling that job
Love the way the young lad driving talks to the young girls, and then jumps out the cab with his sun glasses on.
Fantastic video absolutely enjoyed it
Thank you
Cheers Mate
This is the beesness.
Mr. White ha

Got to live a class 37!

Make the most of them because you'll miss them when they've gone.
Nice video 👍
Which blocks are still using tokens on this route?
Stayed at StBees a couple of times...never caught a 37 there though...will have to book another caravan :)
How the Island of Sodor would look in real life with the 37s!
I wonder if any of the 37 20 and 47 have hit the billionth mile
Thanks Stevie
Take care Warren

Do all the Mk2D coaches on this route have bars going down the windows to stop people looking out or are there some exception? Many thanks.
do we know why the pull with a 37 and return using a single dmu car ?
It's a DBSO - allows the driver to control the class 37 at the rear.

Isn't St Bees an attractive station. Driver looking cool with his shades.
I totally agree with you Andrei,The driver looks cool with his shades on.
The station looks very Miss Marple.

The prison train - bars to stop prisoners escaping out of the window.....
The driver with the sunnies thinks he's it!
