DB Cargo soldiers on with Class 92s for Channel Tunnel duties

DB Cargo 92015 leads DB 66017 across the Medway Viaduct on HS1 on July 5 2019, with a Dollands Moor-Ripple Lane freight. HOWARD LEWSEY.

DB Cargo UK is unable to replace its fleet of 30-year-old Class 92 locomotives which work through the Channel Tunnel until at least 2035, because newer locomotives are not able to be retrofitted with the in-cab signalling system used on HS1 and the England-France link.

    If they've discounted Siemens Vectron, why not something like the Stadler Euro 9000 ?
