Yes - 66756 + 317708+317729. Just passing Stratford

These units were in warm storage. Two were under cover, with a third outside cycled with the two under cover. All were receiving regular maintenance/planned exams. Only the warm store running was cancelled, not the warm storage. 'Warm storage' does not necessarily entail full powering of...

It will not be possible to make up a three car set unless there are other trailers stored elsewhere, and I am not aware of any. All those that were at Eastleigh are disposed of. As an aside, 64710 and 64720 may have a new home to go to by the end of this year
