41001 and NMT power car

[nat67]

I know that the 125 group has ran a 41001 operating weekend with an EMT power car but would there be the possibility of running 41001 with a NMT power car from Derby RTC for the weekend. I think it would get a lot of enthusiasts out for it but it would be the cost.

The spare NMT Power car is based at Craigentinny, over weekends the other two have maintenance at Heaton.

I dunno.... all these empty book merchants who haven’t had all their production power cars!






For the avoidance of doubt, post not to be taken seriously...

Would you go out for it if they decided to do it.

I absolutely would!

And as the NMT is now based at Derby RTC it wouldn't take long for it to travel there but we can only hope. If East Mids could do a HST set again like last time that would be good maybe one of the Ex GC ones.

EMT have their own challenges at the moment (and are bailing East Coast out regularly as well!) with their fleet, and of course the Skegness services start soon which uses a couple of sets at the weekend. The last event was for a specific event (HST 40th anniversary), but never say never about a repeat - such events have had top-level support from within Stagecoach.

That's sounds fair, let's see what happens for the 50th anniversary.
