RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted July 7, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2015 Hi all, I wonder if anyone could help me? Will either of the Cumbrian Coast sets/trains with the top and tail DRS Class 37s on be in Carlisle station on Saturday 18th July? If so please could you tell me the headcode for the train/s and the time/s that the train/s are in Carlisle station? Thank you very much in advance.

TheIntercityhst Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I could also see the clag from its engine and by the time I had reached Barrow I also had the headache from the fumes. I was the same, in the process of 'vestibule vegging' behind 37606 I very nearly passed out through Arnside! Also, does anyone know of the progress of 37407 and 424?

RMweb Premium 31A Posted July 7, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 7, 2015 I see on a photographic web site that I look at, the ex Virgin liveried BSO was replaced by a DRS one at some point last week http://daviddockray.smugmug.com/Trains/Recent/17894198_wqsMNP#!i=4180676932&k=ps2NNWw&lb=1&s=A I also see from an update on the rail magazine web pages that one DRS DBSO is due out of the works in November, destined for the Cumbrian coast, but according to the story it will appear in Northern livery! http://www.railmagazine.com/news/fleet/2015/07/06/drs-dbso-set-for-november-return So does this mean we are to have loco hauled serves for some time? Ian I believe the loco hauled trains are running indefinitely, or until the 120 new DMU cars are built for the next Northern franchise, or perhaps until the next electrification throws up some more spare DMUs - in either case, I don't think they're planned to finish in the short term. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted July 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thank you for the replies. I did remember about the times previously mentioned in the thread but I just wanted to ask again in case there had been any changes that I wasn't aware of. Depending on how much time I spend at the Kingmoor open day I will try and get to see at least one of the Cumbrian trains. It's just a shame that after the 14:26 arrival from Barrow there isn't another Cumbrian train in Carlisle until 20:29. It depends as to which 37s are working the sets on the day. If I have already seen them I might be better off staying at the Kingmoor open day longer. I will see what happens on the day. Thank you very much for the help. It's very much appreciated.

TheIntercityhst Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It might be worth staying on at Kingmoor and then going to Carlisle station, as the Cumbrian Mountain Express rail tour is due into Carlisle on the same day with a 'yet to be arranged' steam loco on the front. Another tour 'The Lakes & Borders Railtour' is also due to arrive in Carlisle with a class 68 at the helm. If you are on any gen groups like backline gen or north-west gen, then you will probably get reports of the 37s working the Cumbrian sets on the day.

Powerhaul 70 Pey Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 37604 in charge of the Preston to Barrow train today. 37402 on the rear. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
11B Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 According to Facebook, the DBSO's look set to be entering service next week. On of them has been out with 37401 (in BR large logo blue!) pictured near Workington. Lets see what happens next week! Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
meurglys3 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes, saw some pics of 401 last week, it looks superb. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted July 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Only 37401 is currently passed to work pushing a DBSO, as that's the only 37 - so far - that has remote fire suppression equipment. https://www.flickr.com/photos/bradjoyce/19758960280/in/photolist-v7omK9-dVxwwH-gTjJXr-dJzuTz-dSddF6-dX4gkP-dJPNMc-dRGSHU-dLzFj5-vLUj4e-dLu6CX-wkXyeN-6Q5ikV-dSkgdA-dVXhwQ-6Q9pv9-dZv12K-dBinxo-w3z9oG-dRWGR5-w72QuY-qXW9CW-dRXscA-dXCsx5-dXwN4g-vNcvmy-vNcwh3-dJADYr-dVh8bT-dLQhVT-dWN1v5-dLT9HD-dRR6qc-dXwNUF-dXwNJk-dXwMFF-v7meWo-dXwLJi-dHNVd8-dBocqP-dP5Met-w72Yo3-dRR6PB-dVzHjF-dVzHh8-dViHqH-dLfEhf-e1gqHr-dXhiDw-dRWSjR Cheers, Mick Edited July 23, 2015 by newbryford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted July 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2015 Yes according to what I have heard more DRS Class 37s are to be fitted with the remote fire suppression equipment. I would assume however that the fitting of the equipment will limit which Class 37s are working the Cumbrian Coast trains so for the people who want to ride on the trains, see or photo specific locos on the workings this week and possibly a short time after (if the proposed start date for the DBSOs next week doesn't go to plan) might be the last opportunity to see a variety of the liveried and numbered 37s on the Cumbrian trains.

Depending on who you believe, it looks like DRS may have five DBSO's altogether (but only two in usable guise so far - it'll be October at best before others are available) - to include use on Anglian duties. The locos will only be 37/4's (on Cumbrian and Anglia duties), as they're the only ones with ETS. As for liveries - all that's been used so far are the two variants of DRS. 37401 will add an extra splash though.

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted July 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2015 As much as I like to see photos of the 37s working the Cumbrian and Anglian passenger trains I think it will be interesting to see a 37 and DBSO working together. It will certainly add more interest and when the other three DBSOs are out and about something else to see. So are 9705 and 9707 the only two DRS DBSOs so far? What numbers are the other three going to be? Where currently where are the other three? I am assuming that because only the 37/4s will be working with the DBSOs this is why 401, 407, 422, 424 have/are been returned to traffic? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly actually four - 9704/9709/9710 with a rumour of 9713. So that may be three each for Anglian /Cumbrian duty. Two in use and one spare at each location.

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted July 23, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 23, 2015 Very interesting. Thanks for letting me know It will certainly make for some interesting photos, train formations and stock moves etc when the DBSOs are in use. It will also give us all something new and different to spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
11B Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I see the first DBSO is in use today! There is a video of it at Millom on Facebook. I will try and look at youtube later for a link. Ian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

class"66" Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Does this mean these 37s don't have fire extinguishers in the cabs any longer?? just engine room sprinklers.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2015 No there are still fire extinguishers in the cabs All this talknof fire supression equipment, i take it the equipment/set up with the DBSO is different to the existing DRS AAR multi cable set up? The reson i ask is drs 37s already have remote fire equipment for when they work the RHTT top and tail etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ooooh, just realised ive got to get the train from wigton to carlisle later (and on to crewe) and the one i planned on getting is a loco hauled service (17:29 arrival into carlisle) wonder whats on that today? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2015 The current Class 37s and DBSO pairings are as follows: 37402+DBSO 9705 37423+37604 Not sure as to what loco/s and DBSO are on which set though.

Hoover 40 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The early morning southbound had problems north of Lancaster this morning, 37423 was trailing 5971-6001-5995 and DBSO 9707 it was a communication problem between the DBSO and the train. It was rectified for the set to work back north Lancaster- Barrow. The other set is 37402-6122-5810-6173-9705. Big Jim you will probably be on 37423 good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted July 28, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 28, 2015 37604 I assume has been removed then? Probably taken off at Kingmoor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
