Too many 'Dyson's'?
Too many 'Dyson's'?

The life and times of the Class 92 fleet has not ben a happy one, as in the main the traffic for which they were built has never materialised. This has resulted in many examples of the Class being stored for considerable periods of time, and for a few, the ignominy of hardly ever turning a wheel in anger. Affectionately known as 'Dyson's, after the electrical appliances of that name, the future does begin to look a little brighter. Hitherto the fleet was mainly operated by DB Schenker, but now GB Railfreight have acquired a number of Class 92s for anticipated new flows. One such flow is 6L48 1631 Garston-Dagenham automotive empties, previously a DB Schenker turn, but now operated by GBRf. Traction wise, little seems to have changed as two-tone grey Class 92 92038 Voltaire heads the working through Rugeley Trent valley on 1st April 2014, but note the 'Europorte' sticker affixed to the bodyside of the locomotive, indicating it's new owners.
