From the excellent wnxx.com the damaged and reported write off 70012 has been moved to Seaforth by road pending removal by sea back to the US. The next batch of Class 70's should also come into Seaforth Docks.
Now, here's the question. Does anyone know whereabouts in the docks it will be? And of so is it viewable? I'm up at JLA flying to Paris Wed eve and will make a detour to see and hopefully photo it.
Any replies would be appreciated
Bob

Thanks Ste, I really need to try and see this before it goes back to the US. I didn't get chance to get to Newport, and I hope it's at Seaforth for a month or so at least!

It appears to have been moved to Seaforth for shipping to Canada, as Beluga Shipping who brought it to the UK and were responsible for the botched offloading at Southampton are in all sorts of legal/administration poo and have been since mid March. They were supposed to ship it back, at their expense, but there is now no chance of them doing so.
Frieghtliner have never accepted delivery of the loco, so it is still the property of the loco manufacturer.
