    That film was extraordinarily well made, with interest spots on laid up locos, no unnecessary waiting for road clears, and excellent close up work. A joy to watch! I trust that machine will soon be pounding up the WCML at 180 km/h (it was of course made for the ECML, but no matter).

As a point of interest, as the locos departed the yard, the name on the side of the building was "Wabtec Faiveley", is that any connection to the Stone Faiveley who manufactured the pantographs for many of the early AL1 - 6 class AC locos?

      All the foreign companies haven’t bought anything, the tax payer provided them!
      That’s how a Tory organised private railway runs. Private companies get paid to do the work and take the profits while the UK taxpayer provides the rolling stock. Hence why so many British built locos are scrapped or in storage.
