DRS 66 future

[SkinnyDave]

With the arrival of the new (in my opinion stunning) 68 loco and imminently its sister the 88 , what will DRS use their 66 fleet for going forward?

loads of stuff i would imagine! i see the 68's as replacements primarily of the 47's and some 57 workings. 88's will mean that there is no need to sub-lease 90's and 92's from DBS.

i've often wondered if they would want a fleet of 60's to replace the 57/0's and for heavy haulage work. in the unlikely event that DBS relinquish further numbers of their assets ....

I thought the 68s were doing intermodals I kn they have worked Aberdeen and Inverness intermodals

Why would DRS be doing driver training on the Class 90 last month? Is there a plan to hire a few in short term ?
