Nice video. I'm still not sure why they were called 'Club' trains... I can only guess that it's because the coach liveries matched the Jacob's Fruit Club biscuit? Also, that move would have been so much easier if there had been an 08 or another loco there (It looks like there's another 37 at the buffers around 13:00). DMUs these days are more economical, faster and more punctual, but I'd prefer to go across country and be 40 mins late in a Mk1 or Mk2 coach behind a 47, rather than do the same journey and be on time in a modern DMU.
Superb shots Mike You found a lovely advantage point over looking the station.Liked the way they snaked over the junction.Have you been back there recently?(C&A)
Very nice bit of nostalgia . Cheers for sharing
and its all DMUs now, great video, i remember watching these 37s at southport,
These two locos still had a full life in front of them Mike, another Gen from the Wilcock archives.....Bob
Nice video of the 37s in the best livery
