The managing Director of Cotswold Rail, Adrian Parcel, has informed TRC that Cotswold Rail has secured Class 31s Nos. 31452 and 31461 and Class 33/2 No. 33202 formally owned by FM Rail. It is expected that these locos will be used to supplement the existing 'overstretched' Class 47 fleet.

Virgin Trains red-liveried Class 47 No. 47810 (previously Porterbrook) was been delivered to Alstom Oxley for its scheduled repaint into Cotswold silver livery prior to naming in February.
