RE: Direct Rail Services
DRS has bought a further four Class 37. These are 37503 from Barrow Hill, 37518 (IE Engineering, Bury), 37670 (Kingsbury) and 37696 (Booth, Rotherham). In view of DRS scrapping a number of the Class over the past eighteen months these purchases do seem odd. All time rail mileage travelled 327264 miles |

RE: Direct Rail Services
37518 has been bought by WCRC, not DRS. Also it was formerly owned by Ian Riley Engineering. |
