Class 67s
2nd January 2007

Another class ignored by some for being "too new", try telling that to the hoards of us who crammed into the front coaches of the Paigntons in 2004! Have done quite well in managing to get most for haulage, although there have been a few spectacular misses. Top bash? 67028 past the sea wall at Dawlish in 2006.

Scotrail acquired the use of a series of 67s for Sleeper services after the eventual phasing out of the 37s on these trains, but every so often, the locos would work elsewhere. 67007 sits at Birmingham New Street on June 7th 2009 with the 1311 Wrexham General - Marylebone. It should be noted the loco was on the rear of the train working in push-pull mode (67s do not have to be adapted too much to do this) and on this occasion, the train terminated here because the DVT failed.
