Having just arrived with the 2L85 14.05 from Liverpool Street 37028 eases the empty coaching stock out of Cambridge station to go off to the carriage sidings for servicing.

Their installation was part of the modernisation of the Cambridge area that included resignalling thus sealing the fate of Cambridge North box seen to the right.
