{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2017}}{{Use British English|date=January 2017}}Electric Traction Limited is a British electric locomotive hire company. ETL is a supplier of AC locomotive solutions in the UK, in association with the AC Locomotive Group.[1]

Previous operations

ETL's first major operation began in 2010 when, ETL's newly refurbished Class 86/7s, 86701 and 86702, entered traffic on 15 October 2010. Two days later the pair hauled their first revenue-earning train, a private charter for First GBRf from Newcastle to London on 17 October. They later went on to work in Winter 2009/2010 as the Royal Mail standby services and had several operations as the Network Rail's standby icebreaker locomotives.[1]

By January 2013 there were seven locomotives in the fleet.[2]

Withdrawal from operations

In February 2013 Electric Traction withdrew from mainline operations. 86701 and 86702 were returned to Europhoenix. 86213 was to remain at Wembley depot for shunting. Apart from 86101 all other locomotives were under consideration for export or disposal.[2]

Caledonian Sleeper

When Serco using GB Railfreight for traction took over the Caledonian Sleeper in April 2015 issues initially arose with the Class 92 locomotives. Electric Traction Limited was able to supply 87002, 86101 and 86401 primarily to assist with stock and shunting moves but also to run the service on occasion.[3] This has enabled these locomotives to remain mainline certified and available for occasional charters. Increasing reliability of Class 92 and incompatibility with new stock means this would be expected to cease in 2018.

86213 was no longer required for London operations and was sold for export in 2016.

Current fleet

  • British Rail Class 86: 86101 and 86401.
  • British Rail Class 87: 87002.

Previous fleet

  • British Rail Class 86: 86701, 86702, 86213, 86424
