Class 180 Adelantes leaving EMR

[DannyMich2018]

In terms of capacity we are missing the 180s. I know it was usually only 2 diagrams but they are missed. I'm currently on an absolutely rammed 222 to Leicester. Will be better when the 810 eventually enter service as there will be 33 instead of 27 trains so more busy services can be doubled.

Wonder why the HSTs didn't recieve the same treatment?

Perhaps suggests an aspiration to re-let these unlike the HSTs?

Historically the exhaust stacks and the vehicle end/body joint areas have had water ingress issues so as mentioned above the sheeting will provide some weatherproofing whilst stored.

Yes. 180111 apparently is also a GC unit but never transferred, so 110 remains the only purple unit with them for now

So presumably three ex EMR nee FHT 180s at Ely then ?

That’s what the picture would indicate.

For now. Can't see much of a future for them beyond scrapping unfortunately, is there a thread somewhere for speculation?

Almost certainly a wide choice. I think there’s far more threads about 180s than actual units:
