Toton...
37402 and 37405 (both WNSO) have been returned to the Compound. They have sat on the line adjacent to the paint facility for the past few weeks from where they could have been removed by road. Evidently their transfer to Barrow Hill has been deferred/cancelled. There has been a lot of activity in the Yard where the stored Class 60s have been shunted around this morning, recently overhauled 60063 (still WNWX) being utilised. It is understood that several of the Class 60s from the Yard are to go over to the depot swapping with several stored Class 60s that are to be moved out across to the Yard. Noted at the end of the shunting manoeuvres this morning were 60032 60050 60060 60086 and 60088 (all WNWX) piped up together ready for transfer across to the shed.

After being moved from Liverpool to Crewe on the 18th 70019 and 70020 (both now DFGI) they were taken across to Leeds this morning where they were joined by 66412 (DHLT) and forwarded to York by 66531.
