DBS class 60s

[jamieintercity]

DBS 60007 has been noted at carlisle for the past few days allocated to 'training', is this the Scottish drivers being re-trained to drive them again in Scotland to the likes of Irvine/dalry/aberdeen soon. Should the actual engine meant to be in Scotland to allow the drivers to regain route knowledge on them?

How many 60s are going to be in traffic once the overhaul/repaint on them has finished?

I believe this for the auto-ballaster.
After overhaul of the 60s, I presume 21 will be a regular traffic
Thanks, Sam

Not sure as to how many 60s are getting overhauled, So much for the Super 7 as planned as theyre certaintly through 7 now.

I'm sure I heard somewhere that when DB have finished, there should be around half the class 60 fleet back in service. God knows when this will be- not in the near future though.

I have been told the intention is for the reintroduction to traffic of 80 class 60s in total.

Cool beans. Hope this turns out to be the case. Fantastic freight loco. Much better than a 66.

Don't get my hopes up! That must be a massive upturn in freight, or a massive downturn in 66s....

Wouldn't suprise me, the 66s are more profitable in europe so need someting else here.

Great news abouts the 60s, shame it was not the 58s.
