Re Class 71 E5001
 

I visited Barrow Hill today and in the roundhouse found yet another NRM escapee in hte shape of the Class 71 E5001

Does anyone know why she has joined

GCR 506 Butler Henderson
GNR 251
LNER J17 8217

there soon there'll be most of one side filled with NRM stock

Of which I am not complaining as they are at least under cover and dry

It could have something to do with the Station Hall at the NRM being re-organised, Gray. There have been quite a few exhibits moved elsewhere in recent weeks.

Regards, 62440.

The NRM is also considering a return to service for E5001, including potentially main ine operations, so perhaps could be something to do with an assessment or something similar?
