37s back on sleepers

[The Snap]

According to a few of the lads down at Castlecroft, the sleepers in the Highlands will have 37 haulage again soon!
The 67 brake pads are all getting worn out too quickly, with them being changed nearly every run! This is due to the number of tight curves in Scotland, which the 67s can't handle too well.

Just a rumour at the momment, but has been spreading around a bit...

If they did, it would be the best news. I just don't see EWS swallowing their pride and admitting they were wrong.

 

[Tom]

I can see it happening - would shorten journey times too, which would be seen as PR for ScotRail.

 

[Coxster]

We live in hope!

 

[Mintona]

I don't know, I'd rather have skip haulage than a 37 to be fair.

 

[Galvanize]

Watch out Mr Minton....you'll be detested for saying that! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!

I agree, he must have a screw loose .

 

[Mintona]

37 haulage is a lot more common then 67 haulage....

I've once had a 67, and had countless 37s :roll:

 

[First ScotRail]

Nope not from what i have heard, however the 67's will not be operating on ANY of the sleepers come the May timetable change , according to my very reliable source

 

[Jordy]

I'm thinking 57s...? Which would be better than 67s in any case!

Here's a question, what portions of the Caledonian Sleeper have diesel haulage?

EWS don't own any 57s though, but with EWS only having a handful of 37s working then this could see some being fixed, if this is all true and 37s do come back then I must go up and bash the WHL!

And your point is? who opertates the service ? I personally wouldnt like to see 37's back up the whl and neither would other people in higher places i know that for a fact! Jordy you are a smart wee cookie!

Edinburgh - Inverness
Aberdeen and
Fort William

No chance 37/4s are all earmarked for the de-electrification of High Speed 1!
