    I have added a collection of photos featuring 59101-59104 owned by ARC & Hanson
    including this photo 59101 Village of Whatley (Hanson Livery) being towed southbound on the WCML by 86228 Vulcan Heritage at Stafford 17-4-02
    any idea why it did not return under its own power?

    Yes I am an active volunteer

    I would guess that there was no class 59 driver available. Although they are similar to class 66 they are regarded as a separate class for traction knowledge purposes.

    Cheers, Neil
