Now things really are getting bad when even the numbers of the last BR designed British built main line diesel
loco dating only from 1989 are being reduced either due to lack of suitable work or parts.
There is even the prospect 'we hear' of them being re-engined with a GM power plant...what next!
The original 100 strong fleet is now down to about 75 and is quite likely to see further reductions.
Here we see still in traffic 60037 approaching Harpenden on the 23rd March 2005.

Class 60s have had a 'sort of revival' during the last 9 months. Having slumped to less than 30 from a total of 100 in mid 2005
they then recovered in nunber to near 80 in traffic during the leaf fall season to cover for class 66s that had replaced class 37s.
Recently their numbers have fallen back again not helped by the fact that some freights around the London area
that previously were class 60 hauled have now gone over to Freightliner. Locos seem to come and go on almost a daily basis but
at least you can still see them around town if you are lucky. In this case 60036 'GEFCO' runs through West Brompton on the 3rd
April 2006 on an aggregates working.
