This photo depicts two of the small batch of 12 class 37/6's rebuilt to work Nightstar European passenger services from regional cities in the West of England and Wales as far as London Waterloo where they would hand over to a class 92. They were owned by British Rail European Passenger Services division. However with the privatisation of the UK rail network in 1996 carving up the network they had changed owner by the end of the month this photo was taken. The new owner being Eurostar UK Ltd which was the operating company set up by London & Continental Railways the new owner of Eurostar and Nightstar services. Nightstar was abandonded by the new company before it even started operating so all the class 37/'6 were eventually sold to DRS (Direct Rail Services).
