Looks like FL class 86s, did their FINAL workings yesterday 05/01/21
So I believe that is the end for these great locos which have worked up and down the WCML for the last 55 years.
There will be a video of 86s from December soon.
This video features several Class 86 locomotives, including units 86604, 86607, 86608, 86632, 86638, and 86639, which are noted to have completed their final workings. The footage is associated with Freightliner and includes locations such as Crewe, Felixstowe, Garston, and Stratford. Headcodes observed in the video include 4L89 and 4M45. The content reflects the end of an era for these locomotives, which have operated on the West Coast Main Line for over five decades.
Fishplate has identified 6 locomotives in this video. We’ve also matched 2 headcodes and 1 operator . Create a free account to see where they appear, unlock timestamps and locations, and view the full breakdown.
