Classmate [[20048]], also owned by Class 20189 Limited but not main line registered, had arrived on hire to the SVR in June 2022 to help working services during the period of coal supply issues. 20189 and 20142 also arrived on hire at the SVR on 19 July. At the time the extremely hot weather and resultant fire risk had led to all steam services being withdrawn. Three of the SVR's resident diesels had developed faults in the extreme heat (50035, D182 and D9551) while two of the SVR's other Class 50s were required on the main line.
