Putting their feelings on the rails, operator GB Railfreight has named one of its workhorse class 66 diesels “Слава Україні” with the English sub-scripted nameplate “Glory to Ukraine”. The locomotive has been liveried in a sky-blue and sunflower yellow livery, an adaptation of the company colours, mimicking the Ukrainian national flag. The locomotive has been dispatched from Arlington Fleet Services in Eastleigh, near Southampton for immediate deployment on regular operations.

Now can we have the fags of other occupied countries or places at war on your locomotives – Tigray, Yemen, Palestine, Ladakh, Sikkim, Western Sahara etc.?
