With the 1A40 sleepers in trouble at Penzance last night and the unreliability of the Class 57'S it got me wondering.
What if anything would FGW hire in if it was short of 57's for a period of time? In the past they have used Virgin 57's and 47's but with Virgin's 57 fleet diminished and issues with driver knowledge on 47's how would they manage if say 2 57's were out of action for several weeks.
Short term a HST could suffice but not every night.
