20901 & 20905

[fodphil]

Going for a repaint

 

[AstroAreus]

It should be repainted in Balfour Beatty livery

 

[RichJF]

It should be repainted in Balfour Beatty livery

WNXX says they're being repainted into BB livery at Bristol Barton Hill by Arriva Traincare.

 

[JKF]

I’ve seen a picture of 901 nearing completion today (not mine to share unfortunately!). Looking very smart. Not the first time there has been one in these colours though. Hopefully they will head back up north at a reasonable time of day so I can see the end result in person.

 

[ExRes]

Reported on gen sites that 20901 & 20905 will be showing off their Balfour Beatty livery on tomorrows 1300 0Z20 Bristol Barton Hill WRD to Barrow Hill LIP

 

[JKF]

And they’re out!



Photo shows 20901 & 20905 in Balfour Beatty blue and white livery at Dr Days Junction.

Very nice, what are they likely going to be used for?

 

[Defiance149]

Very nice, what are they likely going to be used for?

Reportedly going to be traction for Balfour Beatty's drain cleaning train, which is based at Rutherglen. This has previously used a pair of redundant dynamic track stabilisers as motive power.

Diesel galas?

I know powers within have asked if they can be..

 

[The_Train]

Diesel galas?

I believe this is quite likely, possibly even rail tours

I forgot to upload these photo's when 20901 & 20905 were getting a repaint at Barton Hill.
Photo shows 20901 waiting to go in the shed for a repaint.

Looking on RTT for the latest move from Woking Up Yard, it would appear there are two Class 6 moves this evening: 6U37 (to Horsham) and 6J61 (to Leatherhead). Can anyone confirm if either one of these will be the 20s?
