Electric Traction Limited

[1] ETL's first major operation began in 2010 when 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 King's Cross on 17 October.

[3][4] When Serco, with GB Railfreight contracted to provide traction, took over the Caledonian Sleeper in April 2015, issues arose with the Class 92 locomotives.

Electric Traction Limited was contracted to supply 86101, 86401 and 87002, primarily to assist with stock and shunting moves but also to haul services from London Euston to Edinburgh and Glasgow on occasions.
