hexagon789 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I wonder if these will be more powerful as well as more efficient and environmentally-friendly. Weren't IÉ also going to re-engine the 201s with new, more efficient engines as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 The 201 program has been put on hold. There is doubt now over how long they will be in use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean they may get withdrawn entirely from both passenger and freight duties in the near future or am I reading to much into that? 2 hours ago, spudfan said: Like this? https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/gbrf-confirms-conversion-of-class-56s-to-class-69s.180582/ Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind.
