    I'd not call them 'pretty' but they do have some style to them. WIll these now replace the class 20s?

      No-one seems sure what DRS are going to use them for although some have appeared on container trains in Scotland. Chiltern Trains are having some painted in their silver livery for use on their loco and Mk3 sets on the Marylebone to Birmingham service.

      But as for replacing the class 20s.... never.

A London bound train heads East through Bardon Mill Station.  A train of aviation fuel passes bound for Prestwick. A northbound train passes heading west. Tanks for Fort William head west.  A local stopping train pulls away from Bardon Mill station bound for Newcastle. Another Azuma bound for Scotland.
