They may keep braking down yes but have NR really banned them? I'm sure they will prefer the money from the fines imposed on Freightliner?

The problem is when they get in the way of passenger trains. People don't take kindly to long delays when a train breaks down.

So far I think more than half the 70s have broken down or caught fire at some point, atleast one has broken down more than once.
