We will see how long they last before they breakdown as they are prone to overheating no doubt the good old reliable class 37 will have to recover them 😂

So TPE (now TPT I suppose) are transferring all the 68s to DRS eventually?

[@Zander_Trains]

I think so

From what I have read, the lease on the Mk5A TPE sets finishes May this year. So, I would imagine TPE's lease of the 68s from DRS would also expire at the same or similar time. Makes sense for DRS to put them on other duties. Standing idle, especially in the damp winter months, doesn't do any machine a lot of favours.
