Fastline & GBRf HYAs

[DescendingSadly]

Hi all,
Was I correct in seeing today a Freightliner 66 with Fast Line and GBRf HYAs on the back?
Have Freightliner bought these? If so for what purpose as I thought they had the HHAs?

Cheers

the loco is probably one of 66738-741 that were bought by GBRf/Europorte last year (and renumbered from 66578-581)

the locos retain unbranded freightliner livery... pending eventual repaint.
the HYAs are (AIUI) are all leased by GBRf... although im not sure if there are still any of the wagons left in store, off lease, at either Eastleigh works or Long Marston

Saw these at Doncaster back in November last year being hauled by a GBRF 66.

Saw these at Doncaster back in November last year being hauled by a GBRF 66.

The ex Fastline IIA hoppers (70.6791.000 to 70.6791.093) are now used by GBRf.
