Withdrawn Class 91s for scrap arrive at Newport Docks
Class 37 locomotive No. 37510 heads into the Newport Docks complex with three withdrawn class 91 locomotives, Nos. 91125, 91115 and 91112, in tow. The 91s, which worked express trains on the East Coast Main Line between London King's Cross and Edinburgh from 1988, are on their final journey, coming from Doncaster for scrapping at Sims Metals' site in the docks. It seems somewhat ironic that these 35-year-old electric locomotives are being brought on their funeral run by a 60-year-old diesel.

Class 91s for scrapping at Newport
Two class 91 electric locomotives - Nos. 91128 and 91122, which worked East Coast Main Line expresses for 30 years until recently - arrive at Newport Docks for scrapping. The locomotives have been brought on their final journey by class 37 locomotives No. 37601 and No. 37608 working in top-and-tail mode, and are sandwiched between barrier vehicles to provide additional brake force. It seems ironic that the 37 diesels bringing them are some 20 years older than the electric 91s being scrapped.
