37100 - 37200
37100
37100 at Thornaby on 16th October 1976.
Originally allocated to Darnall (Sheffield) on release from Vulcan Works in December 1962 as D6800. Transferred just down the road at Tinsley when the new depot opened and renumbered 37100 in February 1974 when TOPS came in. In '75 it would move to Thornaby and later to Gateshead (Sept 79) with a return to Thornaby in November 1986, but only lasted two months there before going back to Tinsley. Another two moves in 1987 would be Thornaby again then Stratford (London) and Thornaby again in July 1989. Stored serviceable at Immingham (July 1992) for a month as part of the Petroleum sector (restricted use). It returned to traffic and would mainly be found at Grangemouth (Scotland), later being transferred to Inverness in April '93 and seven months later to Motherwell and once again placed into store (Aug 94 - July 95). A change of luck as it then became part of the special projects fleet for use in France and departed our shores in August 1999 being use on infrastructure trains helping to build high speed lines. It returned to the UK a year later but went straight into store (at Tyne yard) once again. It was allocated for disposal at TJ Thompsons in November 2005 and moved there by road by somehow managed to survive, being bought by Harry Needle and converted to 97301 for use by Network rail. It is still with us today.
