Direct Rail Services has added another Class 37 to its current fleet sale as its push to lower carbon emissions continues.

The freight operator has added Class 37 No. 37405 to the sale, and at the same time, has extended the bidding process until midday on the 7th February 2022.

The sale sees the 37 join a number of Class 37 locomotives (37603, 37604 and 37609) placed up for sale alongside a range of Class 57 locomotives (57004, 57008, 57009, 57010, 57011, 57012).

Alongside the locomotives are two DVT vehicles (82101 and 82126) and DBSO’s 9704 – 9710.

The items are available for bidding through the DRS process like before. Details on how to bid can be found on the DRS website.

The bidding process will run until the 3rd February and follows on from the sale of Class 20s, 37s and 57s back in October 2021.

Chris Connelly, NTS Deputy CEO and Rail Director, said: “We’re really proud of our past but as we look to the future we need to ensure we’re as efficient and agile as possible.

“This is a really exciting time at DRS and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
