Confirmed by David Fletcher as well on LinkedIn today with a picture of it.

Faresaver route 10 does a U turn on the roundabout with Newlands Road and Prioiry Street in Corsham. The route is mostly worked by 8.9m Enviro 200s and is tight enough, often complicated by the presence of the wild Peacocks that roam the town and love the grass area by the roundabout but...

At least 1 has gone to help a class 40 (40135?) and another for the Ivatt 10000 group as there is a lot of parts commonality.

The Trie grey repaint must have been one of the shortest lived liveries in the UK; one trip light engine and one under tow behind a class 37..

David Fletcher has posted a video of 60022 on test at Colwick on Linkedin, mention is made of 3 class 60s on comeback trail so presumably these are 60013 and 60060

Interesting video showing an E200EV being built at Scarborough, worth a watch.

The bogies have been used for the class 69s, I understand this was the main reason progress rail.acquired it.

It is probably one of the ones transfered to Swindon, they seem to do a daily run along the M4 as I often pass one on my commute to Bristol from Chippenham

I cycled past it the other day and thought it was a shame after everything they had happen, someone had then vandalised their stock... Would never have believed it was deliberate..

Imagine being the soldier who got told "Corpral, Miss Rice needs some assistance, she need someone to cut her clothes off her".. He looked somewhat bemused..

The workers might win the battle (I.e. no Falkirk to be used as a threat to get Scarborough to play nicely so ADL cough up) but lose the war if ADL go under. Unless something changes, I would imagine the American owners must be weighing up pulling the plug on ADL.. They need volume fleet...

ADL have said plan is to exit Falkirk and keep Larbert for chassis production and Scarborough for body building. If they had been integral ADL products then the chassis at least would be contributing to Scottish jobs.

He already owns one, 60081. No idea how much work it would need to be operational but a new power unit would be required to replace the one which catastrophically failed

I presume other than it's number it is no more significant than many of the class. Arguably 60098 is more significant being the 1,000th Brush built loco

009 is the Blue one, would be great to see it finished

I wouldn't get too excited yet, assuming the buyer is DCR (as Boden are doing some of the Class 60 Overhauls for DCR), they maybe for overhaul, alternatively they could be for spares as per 60075 for example.

If it is the same person then he owned 37099 and 37518 as well

I think 60086 was also in part preferred as it was the last loco to work a train on the Remire line where it was originally preserved

The turbos are the same in all 37s(except a 37/9) but it is still an involved job to change it. Also depending on the level of failure, then you will want to be checking other bits of the engine and changing the oil.

Yep...
