Those diesels just keep on going! Like the North American GP7s and 9s. Being geographically smaller, mail trains running overnight are a great idea, in the USA they have limited Mail trains and cars.

They certainly do, I bet they will be around for years more still (Although the operator of the pair in this video is retiring them sadly and they are up for sale)

There is no maximum speed limit through our stations, like I think it was in Japan I saw they have, so if the track is capable trains can pass at our max of 125mph. so everything goes slow through Carlisle because of the track speed due to the curve.

OK, stupid question but how do the Class 37 drivers see where they are going with snowploughs coupled to both ends? Answers on a postcard to "confused of Cornwall"
@TRAlNVlDEOS

There is a little split gap to see through or usual ply it involves a lot of looking leaning out of the window, they are also limited to 45 mph because of the restricted vision, hope this is useful, thanks for the comment!

37s are used because the drivers (there's always 2 on those jobs) have a high sitting position. So you can see to a degree but there's still a lot of looking out the side windows and confirming with the other driver. If it's 66s you spend most of the time with head out the window and dodging branches. Thankfully I've only done test runs and not during snow. I don't fancy leaning out of a frozen cab doing 45 in a snow storm.
