I'm looking for some details regarding the Network Rail Class 57s, eg I'm wondering what locos they operated and their names that were carried at the time of Network rail operation.

Any help would be much appreciated.

NR took six of the former Virgin West Coast Thunderbird class 57/3s. I can't remember exactly which they were but I have a feeling it was the higher numbers - 57311-16 maybe? I'm guessing on that one.

No, it was 57301/303/305/306/310/312 (although all have now passed to DRS). 57313-316 are with WCRC, and 57302/304/307-309/311 have remained on West Coast Thunderbird duties.

their names that were carried at the time of Network rail operation.

I only recall 57312 being named Peter Henderson.

Ah of course - because 57313-6 were with ATW weren't they? My mistake. Thanks for correcting that!
