Apparently according to Rail mag DRS have bought 3 DBSO`s from BARS 2 to go on hire to Northern for Cumbrian lines and the third for Anglia in the autumn. Now I thought they already had 2 with one ready for use but I could be wrong. Should be easy as the 37`s are through wired

Yes SWT it has changed I found the original tweet from Philip Haigh from Rail mag and it said 9 and the article said so when I first read it. Am glad am not going that gaga...(yet) Surprised there wasn't an HS2 reference there every other article seems to have one
