On the 8th of April 2008, a total of 8 brandnew Class 66 for the U.K.-market arrived at Newport Docks with MV Jumbo Spirit. Freightliner got 3 locos (66595-66597) and FirstGBRf got 5 new ones (66728-66732). Also on board were 2 locos for the European mainland, Euro Cargo Rail 77012 and 77014, which continued their way to Rotterdam a few days later. The pictures below show the new locos on board and on land at Newport Docks on the 9th of April.
