* EN8167 will randomly stay at red, even though there are no trains between it and the next stop signal (EN8173, which is just visible along with it's repeater in the distance of the second photo) - I think this is to do with the Hargham Road AHB controls and is probably connected with (the absence of) a non-stop train marker against the schedule - but that's an educated guess.

I think you are correct. Would have to ask the Thetford w/s signaller to clarify it, but we have a similar situation at Westerfield (difference being a cctv crossing). We have a "non stop" function we can click on to get an early call for the barriers to go down so that intermodals don't get checked down on approach to westerfield in the up direction. When the Felixstowe passenger approaches it it doesn't activate the barriers until it stops in the station. Its all controlled automatically via the headcodes but we can override it.

 

Take care

What you haven't factored in is the Cambridge awkward shift!

Going back to the early '80s with that livery - 1 or 2 Eastfield 37s (012?) got this or close to it, one of the first non-standard variations and wasn't immediately stamped out by top brass

As did 37111 and 37112 but with subtle variations between the three.  027 didn't last long at all in that livery, 111 and 112 carried on a bit longer hence why you find more pictures of those two than 027.

aah thanks, it was 111 & 112 i was thinking of, not 102, but didn't know about 027. While searching for pics, i forgot that 111/112 also had the rail blue w/ white line version by about 1984, which is odd as i could've sworn that that livery came first! (seeing as it's just a white line added to standard blue)

111:

21/08/1981 - Oban, Scotland.

I finally managed to catch it!

37610 coasts through Pulborough with the 17:00 Barnham - Woking. Just beyond the platforms, the taps were opened, and a nice bit of thrash was heard as she headed away. Perhaps this is the final operation down here?

Reggie Rail looks good on a 37 and takes me back to the days of the North Wales Coast 37 haulage.

30/12/20 and 37674 is parked in a layby at the side of the A59 north of Skipton.

It's been there since 19 December.

It was/is being transferred from the Wensleydale Railway to the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Railway.

Apparently parked up with issues for access for the trailer/loco at the railway.

Great photo that second one mate. I'm surprised that the metal fairies haven't visited it. It's a magnet sitting there surely!
