Just a few questions around these units.
How many of these units were built?
Also aside from Rail Head Treatment Trains what else are they predominantly used for?
Where are they based and are they all based at the same place?
Are there any stored or scrapped?
Thanks in advance

Other than the Britannia Bridge across from mainland Wales to Anglesey, is there any other piece of single track line that Virgin Voyagers are booked to traverse in passenger service?
I have been wondering about the formations of these trains with EMT. They currently have six seven-car trains, four four-car trains and seventeen five-car trains. Wouldn't it be easier to diagram if they took two cars out of two of the seven car trains and distributed them between the four car...

Me and the other half and two friends are wanting to do the circular rail trip around North Wales starting at Bangor to Llandudno Junction, down the Conwy Valley along the Ffestiniog then down the Cambrian Coast Line to Shrewsbury and back up via Wrexham and Chester then along the coast...
Evening all,
Does anyone know how many trains of which unit type are stored at Holyhead overnight ready for the next morning? I know there are ecs movements as I live right next to the line between the Britannia Bridge and Bangor Station and hear them go past later at night but I wasn't sure...
Is Cotswold Rail still trading after the collapse and wind up of Advenza Freight? If so what locomotives do they still have in their name. I have tried to find some bits and pieces on the web but haven't found anything indicating either way.
Thanks

I have been reading lots of posts about South West Trains and quite a few people seem to have a downer on them about the desiros and prices etc. From personal relatively substantial experience I have never had a problem with them and to date have not found: an unhelpful member of staff, a dirty...
