Passing Wembley yard at great speed on a Pendolino I saw a GBRF Class 66. I noticed the large F231 painted on the side where the number is usually placed.
Does anyone know what this might have been? It was gone in a flash but I am sure it was a GBRF Class 66.
66775 Argyll F231
Many thanks for the two replies. Appreciate the prompt response.
66789 (the former 66250) is now repainted, quite surprisingly, in large logo BR blue and named 'British Rail 1948 - 1997'
60076 and 60095 have arrived at Doncaster Roberts Road this morning following transfer from Colas.
60085 and 60087 are currently receiving attention at Toton and may well re-appear in GBRf Colours.
60047 for the current forseeable future is still in use with Colas.
Also confirmed today is the acqusition of 16 Class 56s from UK Rail Leasing.
66769 is en route to Longport with 56031, 56032, 56037 & 56311.
More 60's for GBRF ex Colas are
60002
60021
60026
60047
60056
60085
60096
At Doncaster the debranding of the 60s has begun with at least 3 been done.
At Eastleigh 47739 has been repainted but will remain inside the works until further work has been carried out. 66787 has recently been released into traffic in the latest version of GB livery also.
Now working for GBRF and allocations this morning
