I must admit I think it’s an ok livery.

 

Having seen g&w other liveries before including Aussie livery(courtesy of Chris Tarant programme) it didn’t come as to much of a shock but I think it looks good

My Son has just sent me this pic, taken about 10 mins ago, he was caught by surprise to see 37611 hauling a '66' through Leeds station.

According to Realtime Trains, '6601' looks to be heading from Hull docks to Longport.

 

Cheers,

Phil.

According to wnxx, it's being taken to EMD Longport for repair. The story is that it will return to mainland Europe afterwards.

 

More pics starting to appear on flickr. What isn't visible in the pic, is that it carries the number 66999 as it had to be registered on TOPS for rail movement.

 

Cheers,

Mick
