Doubt it. Key word is trial, so it'll probably stay in green for a while yet.

When are the rest going to be delivered to Freightliner? Has anyone heard anything positive or negative from the trials that GBRf are carrying out with the loaned class 70?

Indeed. Has anyone heard anything about these recently, or have they settled down into day-in day-out unremarkable stock?
