Hopefully the tests go well and another electric loco returns to service either on passenger or freight work.

It’ll be going back to Wembley / Dollands Moor not before long. The 92s only work HS1 Freight these days.
Component recovery / Parts Stripping on 66138, 66182 and 66230 is well underway at Toton, doesn't look like these will ever return to use.
At Toton 60054 and 66085 have been repainted into DB livery but with added lettering showcasing the companies in initiative to change to HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) based fuel.

At Toton 67014 has been repainted in TfW Livery. Leaving only 67012 in the former Wrexham & Shropshire double silver livery.
Also 67021 and 67024 have received a second coat of Pullman Chocolate and Cream to make them nice and smart for the return of the VSOE.
DB have won the Cleveland Pottash work from Freightliner who have ran the services since 2007.
The first 3 of 12 ECR Class 66s to be Repatriated have arrived at Toton these are 66010, 66028 and 66190.
