Thanks for posting.
They have released two units from store at Holyhead this week which should assist in improving availability although I am unsure if two others have bee stopped.
I checked availability of the 197 fleet on Monday - 23/51 197'0s were not in service - nearly 50% of the fleet and 8/26 197'1s not in service - nearly 33% of the fleet.Availability certainly needs to be improved.
