 The power units were sold to SNCF and used in their Class A1AA1A 68000 locomotives.The locomotives continued in service for many years afterwards and were renumbered 47114-47118 to conform with British Rail's TOPS system in the early 1970s.Four of the locomotives were withdrawn from service between December 1990 and January 1991; the sole survivor, 47 114, survived until 2002 when it too was sidelined.
