    Class 67 Locomotive Questions.

    Wouldn't be surprised if some of the 40s and 45s had racked up more mileage over that time? Anyone any idea what mileages are for individual locos?

    It's Spain, class 334. Very similar to67s although I believe they utilised some recovered components from older locos such as main alternators.

    Bergen - Oslo Seat reservation

    Has the use of air-con stock on railtours affected bookings ?

    Thought 5 cars were still permitted to run at 125mph? I may have that wrong then?
