[QUOTE=Trev;17282]It might sound daft, but with me it's the fact that the 66's are everywhere that gets on my nerves!
The class 66 is everywhere and that is because when EWS biught their 250 brand new locos all the other companies waited a while to see how they fared in our climate of get it running and keep it running. Once the others saw how reliable the are they all jumped on the band wagon and ordered the unglamourous class 66 because the bloody thing does what it says on the box.
IT HAULS TRAINS and that is what it was developed to do and it does its job well.
From a drivers perspective thats what we want. A litle more comfort would be nice though, Oh to be able to have a coffee on the thing without it going all over the control pedestal.
