Almost £250k spent repairing locomotive which still doesn't work

Loco has been used on 31 days since 2019

The government has spent £249,000 repairing a diesel locomotive which still doesn't work.

It's been used for 31 days since 2019, with its last service in 2021.

Responding to a recent freedom of information request, the Department of Infrastructure says it estimates a further £40,000 will need to be spent to return the locomotive to service.

The government bought it for £400,000 in 2013.
