I think some problems were known, but not the ones that GBRf discovered
when it initially put them into service with the sleeper trains. Yes,
they've had some limited use on HS1, as they're the only UK locos equipped
to run on it, aren't they?

Good point, or are some 66s fitted with the cab signalling system?

No, I don't think any class 66s are fitted with TVM430 signalling, so they
can only run on HS1 in a possession. A few 92s have been fitted, which
gives them a freight monopoly on the line.
