EPR (Europhoenix Rail) - Class 60s

[SpineOnABap]

I’m not an expert of any sort but this photo of 077s cab off of trainlogger (credits to CLJ_Spotter) really just isn’t promising, especially when there are super 60s lying around. I have heard that there was mention of EPR removing parts from locos at the quarry, is there a miscommunication of some sort or are these 3 locos definitely booked for reinstatement?

Hmm, in that photo it does look suboptimal

What do EPR plan to use all these 60s on? I realised ive been keeping up with this thread for a while but i havent actually seen anything on it

Big market for recycled aggregate like ballast this days.. Using it is cheaper than newly quarried stone (that has an aggregate tax in).. A key location is Bradwell Sidings near Longport. I imagine there would be other potential dotted around the country.

Pure speculation, IF EPR are wanting the get properly into the freight game Id imagine theyd have an eye on the predicted increase of scrap metal traffic to south wales in the coming years.
Is it confirned or just heavily rumoured that they have a contract for HS2 work?

Reported today that 60011 has finally been transferred out of the WQDA TOPS pool, strangely though it's been, at least initially, placed into the EPRO operational pool rather than EPRS stored where all bar 60063 are
