Class 37/6 no. 37605 is on loan to Freightliner from Eurostar, the owner not having any work for it after the cancellation of the Nightstar sleeper services, services that never started. At 09.44 it approaches on the 4O18 05.17 Lawley Street (Birmingham) to Southampton container service. No. 37605 ended up part of the Direct Rail Services fleet but was withdrawn in 2019 and cut up in August 2023, one of the first Class 37/6s to go.
