At Crewe GB open day, I was surprised to see 57007, looking lovely in its new(ish) livery

Can anyone confirm how many DRS 57/0s are stored at MOD Longtown? Also, are there any stored anywhere else and how come 57007 hasn't been sent into storage, unless I am mistaken?

Thanks.

57003 and 57007 have been overhauled and currently the only DRS 57/0's operational. 57002 is under overhaul at Derby. 57004 along with 57008-012 are stored at Longtown. I believe there is/was plans to overhaul more of them, hence the storage awaiting workshop space.
