Hmm. No other freight companies sign Man Picc to Stafford/Birmingham then? Prepared to be proved wrong, but sounds like the usual railway gossip BS to me. Why train drivers up on them, when you could lump two or three sets together, stick an adapter wagon on and haul them with a 66?
Freightliner used to haven few drivers trained up on 319's to do moves between bedford and wolverton, now in the hands of GBRF (also 377's to hornsey), so I could quite believe it, but most likely a small company like the rail ops group.
