37254 & 37612 on the 3Q92 Test Train at Cuddington & Delamere - 23/2/2024

The rare sight of Class 37s on the Mid-Cheshire line, as Colas 37254 'Cardiff Canton' and HNRC 37612 operate the 3Q92 Network Rail Test Train, which was operating a circuit around Cheshire and Derbyshire. At Cuddington, despite the weather being dry and sunny all morning, it turned into a hailstorm about 10 minutes before it passed through. Then, at Delamere, I very nearly get bowled by a Northern Service, but I just about managed to move to the end of the platform to still be able to get a shot of the 37s.

Oh yes when there is a class 37s about locally its great if can get out there and film in, which you did in poor weather.
Well done for filming this move.

Thank you very much for your comment, I knew I'd have to head out for this as soon as I found out about it. The weather had been very nice all morning but took a turn for the worse as soon as I got to Cuddington

Cracking clips! Typical that on the same day - hail at the worst possible time and high chance of bowlage on a line that gets a measly 1tph!😆

Thanks for watching mate - thought the same things about the bad luck I had this day! It started raining heavily at Delamere as well but it went off just a few minutes before the 37s passed 😂
