Class 74 |
|||
| With
the impending electrification of the Bournemouth route, BR realised
that further, higher powered electro-diesels would be required in
addition to the Class 73's. Rather than build new, it was decided to
convert ten of the Class 71 electric locomotives to duel power. The
conversions were carried out at Crewe works and the rebuilt
locomotives entered service in 1967.
