UPDATE: July 2024: 45149
Following winter maintenance and repairs, 45149 commenced the 2024 running season on Saturday 20th April and has run regularly during May and June. The loco ran at the GWR Diesel Gala on 12th and 13th July, but unfortunately was taken out of service due to a minor issue (leaking heat exchanger). This is currently under repair. The loco is next rostered to work on Saturday 27th July (Purple Timetable) and Sunday 28th July (Pink Timetable), but this is subject to change, dependent on repairs being completed.
