Class 755 at Bounds Green?

[dan4291]

Anyone know what a Greater Anglia class 755 is doing parked up at Bounds Green depot? I know GA used to send units to Hornsey for tyre turning/wheel lathe but do they send them to Bounds now?

It’s 755424 and I assume it’s there as the Hornsey lathe is still out of use while a bogey drop is installed, a 6 month project that has overrun considerably.

Fair enough, thanks. Nice to see something different from all the Hitachi stock at Bounds!

They also go to the wheel lathe at Wembley as well. One can often be seen from the DC Lines between Wembley Central and Stonebridge Park.

745101 was at Wembley last week at the same time as 755424 was at Bounds Green! 101 has since returned home but (judging from RTT) 424 is still at BN.

I noticed the paths are down as freight paths in RTT. Which company provides the drivers for the moves to and from Norwich Crown Point?

ROG currently do all 745 & 755 moves off the GA network
