Scotrail Class 68

[adrock1976]

Yesterday (Monday) when I was having a ride on the afternoon Fife loco hauled sets, I noticed that neither of the 2 Scotrail liveried 68s (006 and 007) were on them. Instead, 68018 was on the loop service while 68033 was on the short Cardenden working.

Do both 006 and 007 feature on a regular basis, or can they end up on workings miles away from Scotland?

They are mainly used on Scotrail services, but still being owned by DRS they can end up elsewhere, as also seen with the Chiltern 68s. There is also the possibilty of maintenance so other locos will take over.

They get their exams at Kingmoor so are swapped out regularly.
