Morning folks.
This is a question for a friend of mine. He asked me if these locos would have ever made it down to Exeter on test trains for the RTC?
I said that I don't think so and that I always thought that they generally stayed around the Derby and Old Dalby sort of area, perhaps they went to Crewe at times too but I'm not really sure.
I know that they went to open days at times which provided other opportunities to see them (I saw them at Basingstoke in 1987).
Would anyone have any info on what duties they performed and also the last times they were used on the network?
Also did anyone on here ever see them in use?
Thanks all.
