Description

The Class 68 and 88 Locomotives By John Jackson In 2012, Direct Rail Services (DRS) ordered its first Class 68 diesel locomotives from Vossloh, now Stadler Rail. The fleet has since grown to thirty-four units, with a later order for ten Class 88 electro-diesel variants. These locomotives have been integrated into DRS's fleet alongside older 'heritage' locos, and are expected to remain the mainstay of the company's fleet for some time. The Class 68s have taken on various roles, including mixed traffic duties with DRS itself, as well as leasing to passenger train operators such as Scotrail and Chiltern Railways. This book explores their use over the first few years, covering a range of workings and highlighting their versatility.
