Default Unusual sight on Blackfriars bridge

Just saw a Network Rail test train go over the bridge southbound, top
and tailed with a pair of class 37s. Not sure if they came up the
incline from City Thameslink. Probably was quite a loud event if they
did, pity I missed it.

B2003


They reversed at Blackfriars; the route (IIRC but ICBW) was Selhurst -
Blackfriars (went to Victoria instead as the paperwork for allowing
37/6s across the bridge had not been approved, allegedly) - Hayes -
Blackfriars - Cannon Street- Blackfriars - Clapham Junction -
Blackfriars - Tulse Hill - Clapham Junction - Kensington Olympia -
Clapham Jn - Selhurst. Made for some interesting pix in the Cannon
Street - Blackfriars area. AFIAA, only 33s and 73s are allowed through
the Thameslink tunnels and beyond as far as Kentish Town.
