A new unique livery would be nice for 69006. Maybe for a change something that isn't the generic gbrf and something that isn't a heritage livery
Was that the one with a cab exported to Hungary?56106 seems to have played its final part in this programme, having been stripped of parts at Leicester.
I've seen a pic of it minus one cab but I believe that has found its way to Longport EMDWas that the one with a cab exported to Hungary?
It was minus both cabs when it went for scrap. One went to Hungary to repair a collision damaged classmate and the other is now at Longport, presumably as a spare for the Class 69s.I've seen a pic of it minus one cab but I believe that has found its way to Longport EMD

I'm hoping that 56081, given that it's currently in operational condition, remains in grey.
No, they all have been along the Arun Valley line. It is the first time for 69006 though...
It is definitely under maintenance status on TOPS (at Tonbridge) but not heard what has happenedBeen told that 69006 has self imploded somewhere today. Seen very short video which has no link I'm afraid.
Does anyone know more ?

Thanks for the update. Hopefully more chance of getting some extra 69 action on rhtt69006 on its way back to Tonbridge this evening.
If Colas wasn’t struggling for loco availability, maybe they would consider their own 69 conversions ?!Hearing a little rumour that Colas might be taking on a 69 after RHTT season to test them as a possible way to boost their fleet numbers. It seems they are getting a little tired of their own Class 56 reliability
