Didnt the 29s work in Scotland?
Yes, the class 29s were regular traction on freight and passenger services over the West Highland line until they were withdrawn in 1971 and replaced by class 27s.Didnt the 29s work in Scotland?
Yes, as did the 21s, only some of which were upgraded to Class 29. Services they worked included (when they hadn't failed):Didnt the 29s work in Scotland?
Not true, they were rare as hen's teeth west of the Tamar.Class 35 D7000 Hymeks worked everywhere across the Western Region, all the diesel depots saw them.
I'm surprised, because I remember all the ones on summer Saturday extras going through Taunton, in the mid-1960s it seemed like you could see half the fleet there on such a day (probably a considerable exaggeration). Likewise all those the freights that came through after midnight round the Taunton avoiding line, that distinctive engine noise permeated across the town on a still night. Did they really all come off at Plymouth. Laira had a considerable number allocated over time.Not true, they were rare as hen's teeth west of the Tamar.
