We were informed that we were not allowed to take photographs at this station...Highbury & Islington...
so instead of being in just the right place for 37669 on the now almost legendary Hoo Junction
to Temple Mills Departmental we ended up on the wrong platform. We have taken pictures in a number
of different European countries this year and not ONCE were we approached! Class 37s are not easy locos to see
these days with EWS having only about 30 still in service but around half of these are 37 4s which 
seldom find their way to the London/S.E.area. This particular train however is often a good bet
and has even been double-headed recently. The opportunity to picture one of these weather beaten 
'growlers' whilst you still can is not to be missed especially when you have never seen the
loco in question before. The date by the way was the 2nd September 2004.
