Ex FGW Class 180s

[Aictos]

I see there's two coupled up at Bounds Green in ex FGW livery, I don't know what units they are nor what they're doing

Does anyone here know anything about them?

IIRC HT 180s stable there between turns

 

[devon_metro]

they are for NXEC

 

[MCR247]

they are for NXEC

arent the NXEC ones the NT ones? As NXEC sun-leased them

That's right, the two or is it 3 Class 180s currently operated by Northern are subleased from NXEC.

I wonder if the Class 180s will undergo the Mallard treatment or if the interior will stay the same before they go onto what I presume would be the Lincoln services.

The units will be 180102 & 180104 which were added to NXEC's books last month - they were used by FGW until the end of March.
