Description
The Class 66/0: A Study in Reliability. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the UK's national network was facing a locomotive crisis. With many of its current engines becoming increasingly unreliable, EWS took over freight operations in 1996 and recognized the need for change. As a result, they ordered 250 Class 66 locos, designed to be more versatile than their predecessors. These modern locomotives have proven themselves to be reliable and capable, with over 20 years of service under their belts. This book provides an in-depth look at the Class 66/0s, from their early days to the present, as they can be found across various locations throughout the UK.
