In each edition of "Rail" there is a chart showing the current number of locos by class including HST power cars in active service. It is now under 1000! There used to be nearly as many Black 5's!
Of course it does not include DMU's and EMU's. It also doesn't include locos in store eg EWS's Sandite reserve.
There is ususally a copy hanging around in our mess room at Wirksworth and I only discovered the chart yesterday during a tea break.
