26000 Tommy was used in everyday service, alongside the other EM1 locomotives equipped with train heating boilers. It was withdrawn in March 1970 and scrapped at Crewe two years later, [3] when passenger services were withdrawn over the Woodhead route and several locomotives became surplus to requirements.

On its return, No. 6000 was officially named Tommy - an affectionate name that the Dutch had used for it, in reference to their recent experiences with British liberation forces. Authority was given to build the production EM1 locomotives in July 1946, but the order was not placed until after Nationalisation.

The prototype 'EM1' class Bo-Bo Electric No. 26000 'Tommy' had originally been built at Doncaster in 1941 as LNER No. 6701 for the Woodhead line. WW2 put that project on hold and 6701 was put in store and then re-numbered in 1946 as LNER No. 6000
