This has to be the most unlikely London to Norwich service train for years! In fact the last time a class 37 took a service train to Norwich is reported to be way back in 1992! Problems with 90006 and an apparent difficulty in finding an available driver who signs 47s led to this situation. DRS 37606 takes the 1500 Liverpool Street to Norwich through Stratford on the 5th March 2005. Arrival at Norwich was only 4 minutes down on class 86/90 timings with the class 37 turning in a superb performance for this historic run.
