The DB 59/2s will be dispatched to other operations and could quite possibly end up further north. The 59s transferring to Freightliner will remain the main stay on the Aggregate work but will more than likely be supported on the workings by currently returning to action Class 70s rather than the 59/2s. Freightliner operations of this will begin in November 2019.
