The Sentinel is diesel.The DLR has a Sentinel which has run over some (far from all, granted) of the network over the years.
Is the Brighton-Hastings a contender here? 3rd rail electrification, and I don't think anything like a 73 has gone down there?....
In this case, the Cotswold Line, Severn Valley Railway, Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway, GWML (between Didcot and Cardiff), Great Central Railway, Isle of Wight Steam Railway, Chiltern Mainline, and many, many others qualify!Well, now that the title is about lines not used by (any form of) electric traction, who is going to list all the non-electrified bits, preserved lines, etc.?
Oh OK - thanks. I don't know the line that well and I'd never heard of a 73 going down there. It sounds like something which is in the realm of possibility, though.I'm fairly certain the Network Rail liveried ones have on a track recording train or similar?

The Gourock line was used for testing locos prior to the WCML being electrified to Glasgow.Few of branches of the Glasgow network . Neilston , Cathcart Circle (Maxwell Park side ) , Glasgow Queen St low level /Central Low level , though was there a railtour to Dumbarton? Milngavie, Maybe line through to Bathgate . Gourock , Weymss Bay , ardrossan , largs .
Until recently I would have said Carnforth station but now 88s sometimes work the flasks from Sellafield I’m unsure where they switch over to electric. 331 test runs supposedly run to Carnforth but I don’t know whether any run as far as the station. They mostly seem to terminate in the D&UGL to the south. There definitely was a 331 at Carnforth this week but it was being hauled by a 37 en-route to Skipton.
Platforms 3c and 4c at Preston used to see a lot of electric loco’s when there were loco hauled services that required a loco change. Since they finished they do see the very occasional EMU but I don’t think any EMU passenger service has been booked to depart from them for decades.
Loco hauled specials have ran through Glasgow central LL in recent times.I saw a small part of a driver's eye view of the Edinburgh - Glasgow lines from Video125 and apparently they are all electrified - if so, has an electric loco ever run down them? I assume that may have happened, but probably in the days of BR?....

Oh OK - thanks. I didn't know Southern still had 202!73 202 paid a visit to St Leonards Depot recently (might even be there now)
Platforms 1 and 2 at Bolton?
Don't think any testing was even done on that side of the station, happy to be corrected though
Lancaster terminators in the class 87/90 days used to run into Carnforth platform 1 to reverse.
Though both have been used to stable EMUs between the peaks in the past.I can't imagine the two East facing bays at Leeds being used for any electric traction.
Think they've seen EMUs when the Thameslink core has been blocked for engineering works.The MML platforms at St Pancras?
