    I understand 37688 is also back in traffic. That tots up to 31128, 31466, 37264, 37688 & 47077 which makes the diesel side quite healthy. If only the same could be said about the steam side, even if the weather isn't really suitable for their use.

    At least the service can be covered but I agree about the steam. There still isn't a steam ban (44806 finished at Pickering on Weds I believe) but you can bet your bottom dollar at the time there is will be the same time engines start becoming available.

    I suppose, if there are very few services operated by steam currently, the chances of a large fire are much reduced!

    Also, when 44806 needs a washout, can they take the parts off that and use them to get Eric going for 28 days? ;)
