Title: Last saturday 57 of the year cancelled Post by: LiskeardRich on September 10, 2016, 12:08:55 The last 57 operated service of the year looks to be cancelled by a 57 fault. Both "ups" showing cancelled, so presumably the down will be too.
The 57s were doing so well recently as well..... It is a DRS 57, although I've been told GWR are in negotiation to buy 2 DRS 57s.

Quote GWR have recently purchased a couple of additional 57s. Presumably to do 387 drags Title: Re: Last saturday 57 of the year cancelled Post by: phile on September 10, 2016, 16:48:07 57306 was allocated to 1C99 in error last night as it was restricted due to below spec brake blocks, so Penzance had no option but to stop it.
