Class 37 Driver Experience at the Spa Valley Railway, May 2010.

Highlights from a Class 37 Driver Experience Course with 'The 37254 Fund' at the Spa Valley Railway. Starting at Tunbridge Wells West we run light engine to High Rocks where a 'run past' is performed. Then after a visit to Birchden Junction and a leg stretch at Groombridge, it was time to return to 'The West' to couple up to some stock. One of the return trips to Groombridge is featured here. The load was a vacuum rake of coaches which included class 101 driving trailer 54408. This was added to recreate the days of observation cars being used in the highlands of Scotland. For more English Electric excellence, please see this video of a class 73 driver experience course at the Mid Norfolk Railway...    • Driving a Class 73 up Danemoor Bank, 20/08...
