From Ashton Road bridge Europhoenix's 37800 'Cassiopeia' runs light engine from Rail Operation Group's depot at Leicester as 0L50. It is heading to Ilford depot in East London adjacent to the Great Eastern mainline. In the late afternoon, it will collect a Class 317 unit from Greater Anglia that it will drag overnight to Wabtec in Kilmarnock. Despite being nearly sixty years old these veteran Type 3s still are very much in evidence and going competently about their business which is an astounding feat all things considered!
