Najmul, do these Bombardier locos ever work passenger trains?

From my limited exposure to BR; these locos are only used for freight services.

There are 12 Bombardier Loco imported in 1981 from Canada and are now only used for hauling freight (6300 series). Talked with one of the drivers and he confirmed that speed is one problem for these locos. Braking is excellent.

The loco seen at the right is also a Bombardier (6308) waiting for shunting activities for the rake which just came with 6310.
