when are the next batch of class 70s due?

The title is the question really - apart from does anyone know anything £ore about 70012? Will there be another 012 or will one be added onto the series? Sorry if this thread is a repeat and welcome anyone to point me to the right thread. (Hanking you AP

What is the RA of the Class 70?

I keep thinking that if they have the space to fit ETH facilities and with the Co-Co format, they'd look really quite good in Transport Scotland colours hauling the Sleepers.

I was told that FL do not require a replacement for their green banana, and it has been written off as a total loss. Might be wrong though...

Next Delivery of Class 70s (70 013-020) expected Autumn 2011.
Then the last of them due in 2012.
Apparently, 70 012 is going to head back to where it was built.

Thank you - do you know if 012 made TOPS?

There is a 70012 on TOPS, along with 70013 - 70030, which currently shows as OFF TOPS so it has never been registered to run in the UK to date.
