There are three, 60013 at Loughborough and 60060 at Rectory Junction along with the almost ready to run 60022 also at Rectory Junction all of which are DCR locos, if there are any refurbs going on for EPR at Toton then they're not being advertised as yet

Do EPX have any work for the 60?

Do EPX have any work for the 60?

I assume you mean EPR, as yet no official announcements have been made but I would expect them to take in house the work that Colas and GBRf have been undertaking

I believe it was mentioned a while ago that 60074 and 60062 would be the next 2 60s for return to action with EPR

Just normal freight work then or specific stuff?

I suspect ballast recycling will be a main flow.

I am glad that transail two tone grey has gone. Awful livery. What it now wears is superb whether it be a wrap/vinyls over fresh paint or not..........

Not to be a pedant but it's BR Trainload Freight triple grey, Transrail merely inherited the base livery following the transition from the Trainload Freight sectors to Mainline, Load Haul and Transrail.

I think 063 looks great in its new robes, didn't really understand the logic of painting it into triple grey only to slap ESH logos where there should have been sector decals. It would be like painting a 37/4 into large logo blue and then omitting the double arrows.

Was lucky enough to have got to see 60063 every day this week (with Radcliffe, the first station it passed outside of Rectrpy being my local), and have to say on the Monday I was quite sceptical on 60063s livery, but I have warmed up to it now, nice to have seen it on its own too without 37218. I am presuming this schedule is for 60063 to go to Longport to start working: https://live.rail-record.co.uk/train/?c= 11161&d=01/09/2026

Also attached are images from over the week of 60063 (alongside 37218) on test
