    Some good variety in that fleet, so hopefully be something for everyone! That's also going to be supplemented by visits of 6880 and 70000.

    And in the future the return of the B12 and 76084 (which will look great double heading with 80080)

    And even further in the future the return (hopefully) of Black Prince…

    Also not forgetting the Y14/J15 and Ring Haw (which could be fun double heading with Newstead! - as the two Austerities did last year!)

    Presumably some of these will be going off hire to make room for 80080? Doesn’t make sense to have a fleet that large for such a short line and max 5 coach trains.

    This was my thought. I assume the 5-year period is to allow the breathing space to get some of the home fleet back into service?

    7F goes out of ticket in the summer I believe, so that list will very quickly start to get smaller.

    As someone else stated, 7F coming out of traffic this year. Also 90775 coming out of traffic in 2027, not sure how much longer 3809 is staying on the line and Wissington isn’t powerful enough for the 5 coaches plus van standard service.
