The fact that D6927 came from Embsay and Bolton railway before landing at Blaenavon gives the debut a bit of history behind it. I once watched a restored locomotive make its first run and the crowd reaction was worth the wait. While reading about the Coal Train Weekend, I noticed people searching take my ProctorU test, which made me think about how we want fast results when restoration takes years of patient work. The debut matters because of everything that came before it.

What an exciting debut for the Class 37! 🚂 It reminded me of my first train trip to Blaenavon, where I felt like a kid again! Just like mastering the Slope game, it took practice, but I loved every thrilling moment!
