LOCOS at Stafford with SANTA at the helm of 4M27, 37800 with MORE 319's for Scrap & a POORLY 66727!

Ugly weather conditions for a couple of hours at Stafford on 22/12/23 with 37800 providing and un-welcome Christmas for 319361 & 319370.
Hat tip to Santa doing a shift at the helm of 4M27 managing a few horse power rather than reindeer power.. :)
Also seen is a very poorly 66727 being dragged by 66797 to Longport FD for repairs. 66727 has no electrical power or functions so was nothing other than DIT.
66734 passes by light engine to provide a variety of different GBRf liveries plus a few other regular WCML freight workings.
Hope you enjoy the video - Thanks for watching.

Santa needs to go back to the North Pole not in the uk driving a class 88 unless he was delivering presents to everyone lol 😂

[@andrewreynolds4949]

Changing times, I suppose!

[@UKTransportVideos82]

Nice tones off the 88 and good video

[@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannel]

Excellent video 👍

[@johnson_street_IEMD]

Nice to see the 88 on duty .. I'm sure there were two on last night's service down

[@ChineseTrainGuy]

It appears that the 319s are being replaced by 331/1s.. an odd choice, hence the recent lack of 319 sightings in Merseyside.

[@andrewreynolds4949]

Temporarily, but they will be replaced by ex-WMR 323s next year

[@ChineseTrainGuy]

Ah to cover shortages. Potential double workings, as I've once saw a double of 323s coupled at Lime Street

[@kenstrachan1607]

Was the 325 loading and unloading or just parked at the RM platform?

[@trainsplanes]

It was on a test run only from Crewe.. 👍

[@kenstrachan1607]

@@trainsplanes thanks

[@AndreiTupolev]

Good for DRS management, (presumably) allowing that!

[@tonysmith1795]
