Apologies if there is already a thread on this but I've just seen a picture on instagram of 159 101, but one of the DMS's is from 159 012! Any idea as to what happened here?

Waiting components. The 52 car of 9012 needs a gearbox and the 57 car of 9101 needs a gearbox. Rather than two stopped units, a hybrid is formed.

Was recently done with 458501&504 a while back after 501 caught fire and 504 had an argument with a 455. The result is that on the front of 501 you can see the very shoddy job they've done of scraping the 4 off!

It was 458518, not 504.
