87's hull bound
 

12.30pm all 3 87's 034/008/006 were noted at junction 16 m6

Will these be going to Bulgaria eventually, does anyone know ?

I think they are virtually all going to Bulgaria, aren't they ? Chef should be able to tell us what livery they were in. The ones which were are LNWR Crewe for some weeks (not these) were in yellow / green or orange / blue livery with revised numbering.

034 was the green and yellow if i remember right, the other two were in the blue. sorry for the late reply gents been and still working. av an happy new year.

I can say for definite that 003 & 034 were in Green and 006 was in Blue on leaving Crewe.
There is a photograph of them leaving crew on the attached web site

All the best:
Davat.

I assume that by 'Hull bound' you mean the port of Hull? If so, I'll keep my camera in my pocket in case I see a low loader with a Class 87 passing by. :)

there was one of these 87s in LNWR, Crewe today. In a black and pink (!) livery, and named "FLoyd". I'll try and get a photo tomorrow...

Oops ! "Floyd" was a class 86 !! :eek: See UK Electromotive thread. WEll, I did only see it once ...:rolleyes:

Bulgaria are getting about 30 aren't they?

I think the plan livery wise is any of the 87s that could do with a repaint will be getting the yellow and green, the ex Virgin liveried locos being a prime example. All other 87s in good external condition (FGBRf, Costwold Rail livery etc.) are staying as they are, just rebranding.

Will be sad to see them go, but it's in their best interest.

Now then, who wants to go to Bulgaria once they all settle in? :cool:
