More than one (Euro)Phoenix in this case, at Leicester UKRL/EP/ROG depot. A host of traction on shed from EP 37's, 56's bound for GBRF, a GBRF 47, DCR 56 and 50 and ROG liveried 47's. Quite a colourful selection on depot, not to mention a being of the 'classic' era as well. Phoenix in another way briefly at Toton, where 60041, 60043, 60064 and 60070 can be found. While 60064 and 60070 are stripped to degrees, these two along with five others have been purchased for a return to the mainline, given they will be rebuilt it's easy to see why their current stripped state actually lends a hand as all are stripped for overhaul anyway. The eighth of the batch, 60008 has been bought but is, at the time of writing destined for spares use by GBRF. 60043 itself has been offered for sale on one occasion but it and other classmates were withdrawn from tender, while 60041 has yet to be offered in any sale. So, for now those two of the four photographed to return from the ashes, the other two, remains a mystery.
