Quite a number of Class 08s, some Class 37s and a few Class 47s remain outstanding. Traditional Traction have bought the four Class 08s with a view to returning these locomotives to a standard whereby they can be hired back to the railway industry whilst Seco, better known on here for their hire of Class 58s in France during the LGV East construction project, do have UK operations in the south of England with may be a clue as to what they want these Class 47s for.
There is also a tie in between AMEC SPIE, currently hiring in VT 57/3s for their log train operations, and Colas, the parent company of SECO-RAIL, further details of which can be found in a press release on the AMEC web site. Further information about SECO-RAIL can be seen on the SECO-RAIL web site and on the relevant page of the Colas site.
