DRS Class 37s no.37069 & 37059 were at Swindon again today, a week after their last appearance. They were hauling a Network Rail Test Train (1Q12) running from Bristol - Gloucester via Swindon and back then Bristol to London Paddington and Old Oak Common, the same train they hauled last time, due to appear at Swindon three times during the day. We start the video at Bruce Street Bridges not far from Swindon station on the Swindon - Gloucester line where we first see an HST (43159 & 43010) set arriving into Swindon from Gloucester. We then see the two 37s after leaving Swindon and thrashing and clagging away on their way to Gloucester on their 1st appearance of the day. Moving on we head to Swindon station were we see the two 37s arriving off the Gloucester line on their second appearance of the day. I didn't have time to set up as they were coming round the corner as I was getting out of the car, so this shot is hand held, I decided to use my tri-pod for the next few shots instead of the mono-pod for a change as I've never used it at this spot before. We then see a HST set (43195 & 43020) departing Swindon for the west before seeing the two 37s depart, with a bit of thrash just to get going and then rolling on past and over the points which could be heard moving back after the 37s left. We then move down to Swindon's East Yard where I was hoping to see the 37s on their way to London, I got myself all set up but then found out that they had already passed through 29 minutes early, so I was a bit disappointed about that, I did however manage to get a short shot of Class 59 no.59004 'Paul A. Hammond' which had broken down whilst working a stone train, I was told that she was only doing 2mph on full power so she must have been pretty knackered.
