Manufacturer description

Acquired as part of the mass transfer of Class 37/4s from DB Schenker to Direct Rail Services in 2011, 37422 is unique among the ETS-fitted EEs in having been repainted in the company's dark blue livery but having never received any ownership branding. Reworked for DRS service at Railcare's Glasgow Works with final rectification work undertaken at Barrow Hill, for a long time it looked like its repairs would never be completed. Finally returning to the main line towards the end of 2015, when demand for passenger Class 37s was its peak - with both Cumbrian and Anglia 'short sets' in action - the former D6966/37266 has been a stalwart member of the fleet ever since. Latterly embellished by DRS staff with tiny BR double arrows, cast Victorious nameplates, its pre-rebuild numbers and, most curiously, Stratford depot 'cockney sparrow' motifs, the loco exhibits a different configuration of features compared to former colleague 37405, with bodyside windows still in situ, nose-mounted antenna, top lamp iron and no speedo cable
