For the first time Bescot had two water-cannon trains worked by top'n'tail 37s during the autumn of 2004. Unfortunately they mostly worked at night. Hence my visit to North Wales on Friday 8th October to have a go at one of Wigan's workings. The weather was fairly grim on the way up, but Conwy Bay was clear, so I found myself at Llanfairfechan for 4Z07 Wigan - Holyhead. 37893 and 37706 came past at 12:44, water jets on the go and the driver looking back to check something. 4Z07 didn't actually go all the way to Holyhead very often, and it didn't make it on this day. The turnback point was usually Gaerwen.
