37401 & 37405, outward leg of The Bournemouth Flyer, 06.17 Chester-Bournemouth (1Z37), King`s Sutton SP486377
37401 'Mary Queen of Scots' and 37405 make a fine
sight as they approach King's Sutton leading the outward leg of The Bournemouth Flyer railtour that left Chester at 06.17. The tour was a joint effort organised by Virgin Trains, DRS and The Railway Magazine. I was hoping that the Class 37s would be working hard at this location and whilst I could hear them for some time leaving Banbury they had notched back a little by the time they reached me as the train was catching up the previous running Southampton Freightliner. The train trailed this freight all the way to Oxford arriving a little adrift as a result.
