Deltic D9016 departs Yeovil 30 October 2003

Announcement
It has been brought to the attention of Yeovil Railway Centre that suggestions have been made that D9016 Gordon Highlander left Yeovil due to unpaid rent. This was not so. We were asked to provide a home for the engine, which we were happy to undertake. No pressure was exerted on the owners to take the engine away with the decision to move to Southall being taken by Deltic 9000 Locomotives Ltd. Yeovil Railway Centre would welcome the engine back at a future date if a similar request was received.
