The class had a short life as most of the work that they had been built for soon disappeared along side the branch lines and the introduction of DMU services on shorter routes. The shortest lived was 82043, only 8 years 8 months old at withdrawal; the longest lived was 82019, two months short of its fifteenth birthday. The class’s design life span however, was intended for 40 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-US\"\u003eNone of the\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003elocomotives survived into preservation.
