Well 012 is the only one of the 16 that hasn't yet worked a passenger train of any sort and I'm sure that fact hasn't escaped GBRF control

What UKR want and what GB want (or have available) to send are sometimes very different things. 13 of them are sought after by me so doesn't have to be 012 on that day, I just need to avoid 005, 008 & 009 :D

Sorry if wrong thread, but does GBRF still own 56098? I see it's still in use as a super shunter at the Old Dalby test track moving around underground trains in and out of the shed.

Do I read that right as only 69 003 and 69 007 are still stored; the others that were stored are now back in use?

"T" status on a loco means "waiting transfer, or en route to a TMD for maintenance and repair."

This means the loco can't haul trains, but can run light engine or be hauled "dead in train."

In this case I think 69005 is waiting tyre turning

Makes sense, i think 69012 is shunting at Whitemoor, 69015 might be shunting at peterborough but it only got there recently, and 69016 shunting at eastleigh, im not sure about others. Also 69010 went on 0L32 this morning from doncaster to whitemoor and 69008 went from whitemoor to doncaster on 6E30
