387s being dragged south from Peterborough

[mjmason1996]

Hi all,

I live in a flat (sort of) overlooking the ECML at fletton junction just south of Peterborough station. both yesterday and today (June 04 and 05) i've witnessed a class 57 dragging two (I think) 387 units south after a short pause at the signal, at approx. 11am both times. - I was wondering if anyone knew more about these workings, some sort of stock reshuffle?

I expect these are in fact class 379s, which are returning from storage to Great Northern. Today the working is shown as 57306 + 379015 + 379013.

And it will return this afternoon, almost certainly dragging a different pair of 379s!
