After use with Tyne & Wear Metro, this locomotive passed to TML in the late 1980's for use on the Channel Tunnel construction. In 1996 it then passed onto Round Oak Rail, Dudley, where it remained in service until an electrical fire broke out on the locomotive in 2005, after which it passed to Peak Rail.
