new class 70s
 

Passed a class 70 working on Thurs 26 aug at about 12.30 at Kirkby stephen
any info on this working would be appreciated.

I'm yet to see one, but then I haven't been out so much lately. (Looking after my Ill Partner)

Saw one close up for the first time today passing through Bristol TM, they're awful ugly beasties! At least 66s and 67s are pretty unoffensive to the eye, seems F'liner have gone out of their way to create something 'eye catching'! Oh dear.....:(

Seen fer few round Crewe in the last few weeks!!

some of the class 70 are seen in crewe

Regulars on the great eastern one every day
they are impressive motors,train goes on for ever 30 freightliner bogies
pity they could not have put a fiberglass front on them to make them look better,I think
the sloped front on the gatwick express is a cover
I think the class 90 looks smart. mad thought they could make up a plastic class 52 front to fit over them

had "one off" look today inside the cab of freightliner class 70,thanks to a frend of frend...........lol...

Its amazing to think that they first arrived on 7th. November last year - where has all that time gone!!

Had my first sight of a 70 yesterday at Duffield with a single wagon in tow heading north towards Sheffield: 70005.

Didn't have time to get my camera out as I was helping to extend the headshunt in the EVR Platform.

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Impressive load :D
