380104

[scottie]

Does anyone know if 380104 has re-entered traffic after its accident last year or if its still being repaired as its my last one of the class to see and i'm off up to scotland next month?

Many thanks.

It's still out of action and will be for the foreseeable future.

I believe that it was reported at the time as having had a fight with some scaffolding on the North Berwick branch!

wouldnt surprise me. The coastal nature of it does mean things tend to blow about a little and we sure had some winds last year! Who is repairing it and how extensive is the work?

The damaged driving car is being repaired by Wabtec at Kilmarnock – According to the original thread on the matter (http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?p=1394544), the vehicle had suffered a large scrape down the bodyside.

Due to return mid April if all goes well. I'd expect a few shake-down runs before its allowed back into service.
