Why are the 86's in trouble and look like going for scrap? What have they been replaced with?
@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492 Жыл бұрын
yeah only been replaced with 66s, instead of going forward electric loco's they are going backward with diesel the only reason i have heard is they all require big services and dont want to spend the money !

@@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492 Many thanks. What a shame. Until more of the network is electrified it will keep ending up this way. I should think the next lot of boring locos will be bi-mode. The entire network feels like 66's now! The again, it won't be long and there'll barely be 10 different train types.

@@sydwoods.woodsendjunction9492 It is ridiculous and short sighted replacing electric locos with diesels, I can think of no other country that does this.

In my opinion, I think Loco Services could maybe get a hold of a few of these beauties. They don’t deserve to just get sitting there powerless in the middle of a yard.

hi there,,these class 86s should be covered up before its too late. if they do not want them sell to someone who does have a home for them, i suspect clown activity at freightliner.

This is taken from the other side of the fence, still a narrow strip of land between the yard and the new warehouses,planted with trees. 👍

Good place to film. People are driving electric cars, so why not have the 86's running.🤔
