LSL 121022

[m79900]

Loco Services have overhauled 55022 to operate private charters over the West Highland Line, and apparently the Class 101 observation saloon from Barry is being overhauled to operate with it. Exciting times!

Not really 'private charters' - it's the Chairman's saloon for his own personal use and has been rebuilt to an incredibly high standard.

I see. I was only going off what I'd read, so that's a shame.

Looking at RTT, LSL have a 1 car that seems to be doing 2 return trips between Arisaig and Rannoch each day. RTT doesn't seem to have a traction allocation however the timing is for a DMU with maximum speed 70mph, so I suspect this is it.

I'm afraid you or I will not be enjoying a ride in 55022 any time soon so I'll console myself with having driven it on the main line many times
