DRS Class 37 No 37601 "Class 37 -Fifty" is seen paired with DRS Class 37/4 No 37409 "Lord Hinton" powering working 1Z74, 0551 Edinburgh Waverley to Southampton Western Docks Cruise Saver private charter train on 26 April 2012 as it approaches Burton-on-Trent station. Due to the separate failures of both DRS Class 47s No 47818 (front) and No 47841 (rear) earlier in the day, the train was running 256 minutes behind its scheduled time at this point. However I understand that due to no further problem being encountered and some excellent running with the Class 37s in charge, 45 minutes had been cut to make a 211 minutes late arrival at the south coast port of Southampton.
