The locomotive entered works on the 30th June and was finally released on the 10th December having had the following major components replaced: Power units No.1 406 replaced by 539 & No.2 430 replaced by 435, bogies No.1 9000-39 replaced by 9000-11 & No.2 9000-40 replaced by 9000-12 and boiler 5097/J3248 replaced by 1492/J2948. Note still visible is the domino headcode carried by the loco which had smaller than average dots - the route indicator panels were also plated over during its Intermediate repair.
