Class 37
English Electric Type 3
South Eastern Division
A pleasing scene on 20th November 2004 as Class 37 No. 37047 is seen coupled to Class 66
No. 66062 in Hoo Junction ''up'' yard, the former wearing the blue ''Mainline'' livery of 1994. This
particular Class 37 was a semi-permanent resident of Hoo Junction in its latter days, its usual
workings taking it only as far as Hither Green. Its yard stablemate was No. 37109, also a North
Kent Line frequenter and Hither Green-based. David Glasspool
No. 37055 ''Rail Celebrity'' is depicted at Hither Green Depot in July 1997, wearing the 1994
-conceived ''Mainline'' blue livery. No. 37705 is on the right, whilst a Class 58 can be seen
emerging on the left. David Glasspool Collection
Cannon Street was host to the renowned SERCO Test Train on 2nd August 2006. This was
top-and-tailed by a pair of Class 37s - of which No. 37612 is seen here - and composed of BR
Mk 2 air-conditioned stock. No. 37611 was on the other end, and the formation is waiting
to depart to Orpington. There, it will terminate and run back to Hither Green Depot.
