Some background information for the picture of 37254 towing failed 33013 courtesy of Bryn Thomas: '254 towing 33013 at Newport with a service for Cardiff on 6th May 1988. 33013 having been fine until reaching Pilning when it developed an earth fault (it transpired). It took something like 40 mins to get through the Severn Tunnel, whereupon at the welsh side, 37254 was attached in the cutting just before Benacre bridge, Caldicot. 254 then put in a sterling performance to rush the ailing train to Newport where it was terminated. A soundtrack of this journey is available via the SELG website (link on front page of our website). |
