    Class 37403 is now taking priority within the diesel shed now that 37025 is almost ready for painting and mainline testing.
    Most of the SRPS diesel group have moved up a gear to get 403 ready this year.

    The full re-wiring continues. Mainline safety systems have been installed and wiring of these continues.
    No 2 end Cab is making good progress . The refurbished nose end internals are being installed.

    Bodywork,
    Most of the work at No 2 end is complete.
    No 1 end cab sides are next along with a few side vent rain strips. .

    Photo updates can be seen weekly on the last pages of the 403 galley :
