70007 is shown FAIL and the other five STOR on this evenings list.

Seems extremely odd that a month ago it was said the fleet was going up to 13 - I wonder if whoever 66413 was painted to impress has demanded they were taken out of traffic?

I think it's been on the cards for a long time to get rid of the lot, presume a lack of available 66s was the reasoning for a few coming back out briefly. They are dogged with faults unlike the new built Colas ones which have proven to be extremely more reliable. The future is bleak for FL's ones.
Seems the 70s wont go without a fight, 70003 and 70005 are back in use i Believe.
Now up to 6 Class 70s in use as 70007, 70008, 70014 and 70020 are all back.
Now 7 Class 70s are in use as 70011 is back
70006 is now in the Service Pool bringing the total up to 8 however this and 70011, 70014 and 70020 are showing as at Midland Road so theres only actually 4 getting used.
70011 is Stored, 7 Still in use (70003, 70005, 70006, 70007, 70008, 70014, 70020.)
Reinstated/Soon to be Reinstated is 70002, 70010 and 70015, This will bring the total number of 70s in Service to 10.
70002, 70003, 70005, 70006, 70007, 70008, 70010, 70014, 70015 and 70020.

Seems to be a lot of ongoing maintenance now at Midland Road on the 10/11 that were sat by the mainline for months. Wonder if FL have picked up some more work recently.
