Keep in mind that this is more likely to be 47s than 37s. If 37s are used then they require either 37409 or 37423 (at least until they overhaul more 37/4s) as those are the only ones which have train supply fitted.
Test trains in the system to run this week, all down as loco hauled. No more info other than that, perhaps someone "in the know" could help...
