Great to see a 50 year old beast providing a service to the North East yet again. GIve me this loco ANYDAY over the efficient faceless uninspiring trains of today. No noise little fun and no character...
Compared to Westerns and Hymeks they weren't exactly good-lookers, but its nice to see them return - they are a reminder that diesels used to have character and individuality, unlike today's anonymous, plastic, so-called trains.
what about all the class 60s . ?

still seems odd to see one of these on freight- but seeing one back on the mainline in gainful employment is still brilliant news

About time the REAL locos got to stretched their legs a bit! British built locos are so much better than the Canadian crap they are shipping in!!
