Some (older) news from earlier this month (07.08.2013) about 66747, 748 and 749. Modifications on these locos at the Midland Railway Centre in Butterley have been completed.
At the moment they are being used for crew training at various locations. It is understood that 66749 is also available for some first regular services and has already made scheduled runs on the UK network. It is also understood that 66747 was planned for a scheduled service as well, but failed due to an unknown issue.
