70's in use
70009, 70019 at start of the week. 70008 + 70009 on Maritime - Wentloog - Maritime on Tuesday 26th. 70008 appears to have been under trial following problems in the previous week, however there were complications and 70009 led as illustrated above. 70008 further worked the Wentloog on Thursday and Friday.
70099 is coming to the UK from Turkey, but is not expected to be entering into the Freightliner fleet. GBRf may have interest, which may have increased after 66734 was derailed on Thursday at Loch Treig. 66734 is the former 66402, and it looks like that it may take some time and effort to recover.
