(for those who wonder or don't know well about the class 87): the class 87 was designed by BREL (British Rail Engineering Limited) between 1973 and 1972 and a total of 36 units were produced. its the little brother to class 86 but more powerful in performance. they are still in service now but mostly on Bulgarian tracks (one is in england and its LSL) and the operators who own the class 87 and is in service is: BRC (bulgarian railway company), bulmarket and LSL (locomotive services limited). the former operators who owned class 87 is Caledonian sleeper, british rail, DRS (direct rail services), EWS, virgin trains and so on. 28 units were withdrawn and 3 units were preserved the three preserved ones are the class 87001 ''Stephenson'', 87002 ''Royal Sovereign'', 87035 ''Robert burns'' and 13 were scrapped. the units were withdrawn between 2002 and 2007.

 

Does this really need its own thread, since you posted the exact same thing in the WCML Over Shap thread earlier?

 

no but thats why i said ''dont be negative'' as it means ive posted it before. i already know that so please dont be negative.

 

For those that want to know. Here's a detailed description.

or that.

 

"Don't be negative" doesn't mean we aren't allowed to question you for spamming duplicate posts.

 

These numbers are different from the wiki. The use of "withdrawn" seems strange as well.

 

from 1972 to 1973 is correct.

 

Not being negative, but why post this as a separate thread?
