The period around Christmas and into the New Year of 2010, has seen most the mail trains in this country hauled by one of three locos. These being, ETLs 86701 or 86702, or the ACLGs 87002 Royal Sovereign. This video captures several of the moves, at Crewe and Warrington, featuring all three locos and a bonus extra with 37601! All filming was done in the week 4th-8th January 2010! Enjoy some proper trains at work.

Amazing! Those 86s are beasts! Love the sound they make when they start up. Need to see a ETL 86, but they aren't where I want them when im available.
