37403 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi folks, I've been hearing through the vine that FL/DRS/West coast are looking at providing traction for Colas operated test trains owing to reliability problems. Not sure if this is hot air or not. Anyone able to expand on the situation if there is any truth in it? cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
black and decker boy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Word elsewhere is that the PLPR trains were tetendered over the summer.The new plan from NR is stated as regional operators so yes, all of the FOCs have won some work. Some are just supplying drivers and using Colas 37s apparently whilst others supply locos too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
