New Freightliner pool DFHJ - "Freightliner Class 66s - limited use". The full background for this is not yet known, but the 25 locomotives are:
    66413/05/09
    66507/08/10/11/13/14/15/18/24/25/26/31/36/44/51/63/64/85/95/96/97
    66953.
Some of these can be seen on the Fairwater Yard ballast cleaner workings, but other pool locomotives are mixed with these. Freightliner is currently merging the Intermodal and Heavy Haul divisions, where the latter has seen reductions in activity with the fall off in coal traffic.
