Class 88/86 Rugby

[E_Reeves]

Hi all,

I had no idea what I was doing today so I was thinking of popping down to Rugby. I remember seeing videos and photos of 86259 (Les Ross) and a class 88 just out of the station. Does anybody know if they are there today and if so, what number the 88 is? I just need 005 and 009.

Thanks

The 86 is in the carriage sidings because 86259's owners fell out with Willesden depot and they wanted moved so it can still work The Cumbrian Mountain Express. The 88 is in the same place and there is one stabled there all the time for use on DIRFT- Mossend Tesco liners, but it does get changed about every week or so.

I thought 86259 moved because Bombardier were taking over willesden TMD and they were charging more?
