During the mid-1960s, BR was looking to introduce a high-powered diesel loco to improve services on the West Coast Main Line. Subsequently, BR opted to lease 50 locomotives from English Electric instead. Although the new Class 47s would have perhaps been the first choice, these were already proving unreliable and suffered regular engine failures.
