    Maybe they've decided to turn and service the loco at Laira?

    How much longer has 45212 got left on its ticket? it can only be a few months I did hear end of the year, If it keeps on needing attention, might the decision be taken to retire it early for overhaul? thats going to leave West coast in a bit of a pickle loco wise,

    I get your point about WCR being short of locos, but even if 45212 soldiers on, they are already there. They need at least 3 and more realistically 4 air-braked locos to fulfill all their commitments (not including the Jacobite).

    That must be at least 3 in a month? I can recall one on a LE trip south, coming off at Rugby a few weeks back?
