Bye bye Valentas

Well in all fairness they've been gone around 3 months now (where has the time gone?!), all my mourning for them has been done and the old numbers now scrubbed out of my book. Sad to have to do so but at least they'll be back in service soon. Sooner the better, then the engines will start running in and we'll get some nice amount of noise off them in a few years time!

I know a lot of people don't like it, but I think those powercars are looking great freshly painted.

does this mean all the original interiors are gone? If there are some left, when's the last run?

2 HST sets left in traffic at least. No idea when they're timetabled to go.
