37401 & 802109 South Marston 12 March 2020

The old, not so old and the new! 37401 Mary Queen of Scots passes South Marston on 12 March 2020 with the 5Z37 08:42 Norwich Crown Point to Newport Docks (Sims Group) ECS, conveying six former Greater Anglia coaches for scrapping. This is a slightly ironic picture, as while these superb vehicles are heading for the cutter's torch, the much less comfortable modern replacement for much Mk3 stock is heading in the opposite direction. 802109 is working the 1A21 13:00 Bristol Temple Meads to Paddington GWR service.
