This sort of news raises a couple of interesting questions about future Rail
direction.
1/ Are these new trains carrying freight formerly carried by National Rail or
is this new freight lost to National Rail.
2/ Even more interesting Patricks obviously dont regard locos like GMs and
442s as "old and unreliable" as NR do.
It will be real interesting to see the future of this train.
