[fsmr]

Woken by the unmistakable growl of a 37 on the up line from oakham towards manton junction today around 06:30 Anyone know any info and if its due back?
brings back memories of the paired 37 corby coil trains . Now its just the melanchoilic whine of the 66s and the hydraulic scream of the dmus :cry:
Nige Oakham Rutland

That will be the Serco test train. Not sure when or if its due back that way but if it is it won't be untill a few days once its completed its testing in Suffolk and Norfolk.

Ok never got a chance to see it as it was in the trees by the time i was at the window.

No Serco involvement any more, they lost the contract nearly a year ago for the drivers, and the crew even longer than that.

It's a transit move to Ipswich, working back to Derby on Saturday but it looks like it's working back from Doncaster, so probably not going back via Oakham.

Its booked to do a whole load of runs in East Anglia over the next couple of days before heading back to P'borough on Friday. Where it goes from there I don't know.
