(perhaps it should have been numbered 70013 - unlucky for some). Bit of a shame though. Does anyone have any further information about its future?
There's lots of talk about this
Some were saying it was going back to the States etc but it is on a low loader somewhere in the Midlands
it's like 70009 the gossip was it had a seized wheelset but the photo in the gallery clearly shows it live haulingthe other dead three on 0m25
