Are all Mk1 sets 5, bar the shuttle, can we check?

 

Clearly not as the TC is 4!

 

Yes hence the 'Mk1 sets', as in the non fixed sets...

 

Currently 66593 is being planned to attend by Freightliner. Class 70 ID still unknown at this stage. All subject to FL's operational requirements. Many thanks to FL again for their hard work in sending 2 locos to us!

A/B/C sets are full formations. S set will be 2 Mk1s, 4TC is well a 4TC

 

Freightliner locos are arriving on Thursday evening:
