@MonochromeLoco - These trains cope with the extra christmas workload and supplement the scheduled services. Think the 67s are used in case of possible icing problems on overhead electric wires. Thanks for the comment Keith.
@CoachAlex1996 - Thanks very much Alex for your comment.
I think these particular postal trains deal with the extra Christmas post, and are 67 hauled to overcome any potetial OHL icing problems. The 37s and 87s were a real bonus.
This is becoming a regular occurence Allan, though I don't know the reason for it, Nice catch...Keith

Love your video I've been wanting to see a class 67 for ages but only saw a DBS 67 in York last weekend for the first time.
Will have to see this Arriva blue liveried sometime.
