VINTAGE TRACTION
LOCOMOTIVE SERVICES’ Class 45 No. 45118 is due to make its debut with this company (the InterCity subsidiary) on October 19, when it should haul ‘The Torbay Delight’ from York. Starting at York and picking up at Leeds, Sheffield, Chesterfield, Derby and Tamworth, Paignton is the destination. Perhaps it is a fitting route – the NE-SW – that this ‘Peak’ will be traversing as the Class 45/46s were synonymous with this cross-country artery from their inception.
