Steve W has been thinking again Here on his blog inspired by a tweet he examines the number "68006"


http://busandtrain.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/69006-history.html

This was meant to be a post commemorating the fact that yesterday saw Abelio take over from First north of the border to start operating Scotrail services. I was attracted to a Tweet from Richard Clinnick of Rail Magazine, revealing that two Class 68 locos, 68006/7 had been repainted into Scotrail livery and are operating a handful of services on the Fife Circle line. So I did some research and discovered that firstly there are no photos availabe yet of 68007 in Scotrail livery, which is a shame as I saw that in Ipswich last year, but also that 68006 has been worn by other vehicles too in the past, and so the post has morphed into a history of 68006[/qu
