 EWS
has reinstated class 60's to traffic to cover water canon duties over the
forthcoming leaf fall season. Previous years has seen venerable class 37's used
for these duties but not this year with so many of modern class 60'savailable. |
 Livery
Changes. One of the better liveries to emerge from the private operators is the
version of maroon chosen by charter operator West Coast Railway Company. 57601
along with 47845 have both been treated to a repaint. |
Class 56 Withdrawals
 EWS
has finally withdrawn its last remaining "Grids". With the remaining members of
the fleet suffering from increasing engine hours and little maintenance it was
inevitable that the end would come. However it came as a surprise to many that
the end came so quickly with the many machines being simply turned off after
EWS's new boss deemed them surplus to requirements.
 2006 FA Cup.
Cardiff once again played host to this years FA Cup final,
perhaps for the last time. The occasion again produced a
variety of locomotive hauled traction bringing eager
football fans into the centre of Cardiff. |
 2006
Rugby Final. Straight after the FA Cup final Cardiff
staged Rugby Unions annual showpiece. The class 50's
were again in action but this time they are joined by a
pair of class 47's and a stand in performance by 37425. |
