24th APRIL 2022 - 013Q CLASS 37 DERBY RTC (NETWORK RAIL) TO DONCASTER WAGON SHOP.

 Sunday 24th April, I was in town and had some spare time, so toddled-off to the railway station to see a Class 37 Diesel Locomotive trundle into the sidings, from Derby.

Class 66, 66951 waits at Stop signal on 'Up-Fast Line'.

Given the 'Green', the Freightliner departs Doncaster.
