I didn't know that Fastline had gone, according to this website they still exist... http://www.fastline-uk.com/freight

And another thing I did not know, Fastline own ON-Track Plant machinery, here is the link... http://www.fastline-uk.com/otm

After a bit of research, I have seen the report, taken from the highly disputed Wikipedia (take with a pinch of salt website), here is the statement...

Fastline Fastline Freight, part of Jarvis PLC, which operated intermodal services between Doncaster and Birmingham International Railfreight Terminal (BIFT), and Thamesport, in North Kent, using refurbished Class 56 locomotives ordered five Class 66/3 locomotives to operate a coal flow from Hatfield Colliery. They were delivered in 2008.[3] Following the demise of Jarvis in 2010, and Fastline going into administration on 29th March 2010[4] these locomotives were placed in store, being towed to DRS Carlisle Kingmoor or Crewe Gresty Bridge depots for storage.

The statement above was taken from this website... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_66

So it does seem Battlearrow you are right, this is sad to see in this day and age.
