Discussion on the 769 thread about this, two units (one already at Crewe I believe) are to go to Northern to cover other units going for C6 exams. Lets hope these ones are more reliable than the ones we've got (it's already a very low bar).

Bit of a surprise after all these years, has the 3rd rail ban been because of the power cars or the coaches or do the buffered 43/4s make the difference I wonder, nice to see that RA have sent out their best looking pair to celebrate the occasion ....... 6Q43 due to pass Cambria Junction at 1406

I recall asking why they didn't run to DM two years ago...
It seems like the obvious thing to do if possible, saving a loco swap at Wembley and presumably keeping more of the work in house with RailAdventure.
I think the ban was always to do with the coaches - obviously it's only fairly recently that power cars running on their own or hauling other stuff has been a thing.
RailUK was launched on 6th June 2005 - so we've hit 20 years being the UK's most popular railway community! Read more and celebrate this milestone with us in this thread!
