37609 & 37603, outward leg of The Pennine North Eastern Explorer, 07.10 Milton Keynes Central-Durham (1Z83), between Roade & Ashton 
 DRS' 37609 and 37603 make a fine sight as they haul the 1Z83 Pennine North Eastern Explorer charter between Roade and Ashton. The Compass Tours charter had just left its starting point at Milton Keynes and would head via Manchester and a trip across the Pennines to Leeds and onwards to Durham giving passengers an hour or two to explore the city no doubt looking forward to some more English Electric thrash on the return journey!
