Can anyone shed any light on a couple of aspects of Class 57 operations for me?
First, I was reading that Freightliner's 57/0s are being replaced with 66s - does this mean that **all** of their 57/0s are being replaced, or are there some still in service? And if there are, are they scheduled to remain in service for a while?
Second, I've seen a couple of pictures of Virgin 57s hauling freight. How rare is this? I was under the impression that Virgin's 57s were for Thunderbird duties mainly.
Thanks,
Dave.
