*VERY RARE!* Class 93 Makes Its FIRST Ever Move Out of Grangemouth!”
The Class 93 is a new type of locomotive built by Stadler. It can run on both electric and diesel power and is designed to be more efficient and better for the environment. This run was done to make sure the locomotive is fully ready for real freight work and to check how it handles under different conditions.
The Class 66, 66512, ran with the 93 for support and testing. The pair worked smoothly together as they moved through the route. This is one of the first times we’ve seen a Class 93 working from Grangemouth, making it an interesting moment to record.
It’s always good to see something new out on the network, especially when it’s a test of a new type of locomotive. The results from runs like this will help get the Class 93s ready for future freight services across the UK.
A Class 93 locomotive, 93006, operated by Rail Operations Group, was seen in a test run at Grangemouth alongside Freightliner's Class 66, 66512. The working aimed to assess the performance of the new Class 93 before it begins regular freight services. The locomotive is designed for dual electric and diesel operation and is intended to be more environmentally efficient. The test involved moving through the route with support from the Class 66, demonstrating smooth cooperation between the two units. This event marks one of the first times a Class 93 has been observed operating from Grangemouth.
