In their early days as well as the Condor freight working London to Glasgow the Metrovick Co-Bos worked in multiple on St Pancras -Manchester trains. I saw two pairs in multiple arriving one pair arriving one leaving St Pancras one afternoon in September,1960. In the end their lack of reliability and replacement by Class 45 'Peaks' saw them sent to West Cumberland to see out their short lives, victims of said unreliability and also the rationalisation of surplus/unreliable/non-standard diesel classes towards the end of the 1960s.
