After a good few months under wraps at Worksop - ROG loco 93001 makes an appearance on the UK mainlines finally.
The loco is seen being hauled by 37901 from Worksop Down Yard to Crewe South Yard to commence static testing with a set of Mk3 coaches recently dragged from Yarmouth CHS.
See the loco pass Stafford with 901 playing a tune for those waiting - Once at Crewe, see 901 runaround before heading out to Crewe South Yard with a class 720 getting in the way temporarily!
A brief cameo from 37425 passing through Stafford on a route-learner to Taunton also!

Well captured footage. Funny, looks like class 68 and class 92 had a baby and this is the result. Like I feel when class 92 came out, it was an electric version of a class 60, saying that both were built by Brush.

What is the intent of this loco, as it seems there are many TOC's in the UK which seen to use mases of various built different loco's. There is plenty of other available traction which is under used than to buy, operate and maintain another version. It makes no sense these days in the UK why with all this private ROC's which we know doesn't work. We need to go back to when it was controlled by one body and a few type of locomotives to run what we need.
