Notes:
Note added Tue 24/10/2023 by Llamafish
Category: Usage/Service
Although not the first numerically, 56006 was the first class 56 to enter traffic on the 25th February 1977 - the day before the final 'Western' was withdrawn from traffic. It was therefore the first Type 5 designed solely for freight to enter traffic.
