Class 37 no 37510 ‘Orion’ had the duty of leading 3 ex LNER / BR Class 91’s on their final run to the scrap man on 20th Feb 2023.

7Q76 the 0440 Doncaster Belmont to Sims Newport is seen passing through Kings Norton on the ‘slow’ line (as it is restricted to 45mph). 37510 lead 91118 ‘The Fusilier’, 91116 and 91121.

Apparently the nameplates from 91118 will be removed before the scrapping process commences as was the case with previous examples.

91118 was previously named Bradford Film Festival and Robert Louis Stevenson.
91116 was previously named Strathclyde.
91121 was previously named Royal Armouries and Archbishop Thomas Cranmer.

The 3 91’s were all built in 1990 at Crewe, making them 32/33 years old, all of them are dwarfed in age terms by the class 37 hauling them which was 60 years old a week ago on 13th Feb !
