I think that you are under a big misapprehension,lnwr20,EWS/DB schenker do not own the class 66 /67 locos they are owned by a leasing company,and are leased from that company by them,such costs involved by the need to carry out "F" exams would therefore be born by the leasing company not EWS/DB.
Unfortunately the class 60 locos(also class 37,47,56,58 are owned by EWS/DB) and any costs for re-furb or large exams have to be born by EWS/DB schencker,which they are not prepared to pay for,that is why they "lease" locomotives rather than own them.
