Nope, all remaining units still sitting in PRDC, still part way through the re-livery.

I'm in PRDC every Monday & Tuesday night with the truck, I'll keep an eye on what's happening. I have pics from this week of 001 & 002 in grey and prep work on the remaining units, but as Skimpot says I can t really post them yet

Expensive and time consuming modifications and rebuild of Ashford International platforms to enable use for the class 374's.......then never actually running them into the station

Directors are listed on companies House; does anyone know if they have railway ties?
