HST coach disposals

[43096]

Are they ex Castle sets or long since out of use?

The numbers should give it away: ex-Castles.

 

[XCTurbostar]

Ex-Castles both of which were in service earlier this year.

On a slightly more positive note, ex GC / EMT TF 41204 has moved to the Heritage Centre at Bellingham, Northumberland. Mk3s set to replace the TC vehicles there.

Presumably the TC vehicles are off to scrap?

Presumably the TC vehicles are off to scrap?

Possibly, or preservation elsewhere. Destination unknown at the moment!

48135 and 49113 have moved by road to Sims Newport Mr Clinnick has tweeted

Are these the first Castle Class trailers to be disposed of?

TIA

No, that was vehicle 48116 which left Laira by road on Monday.

 

[adc82140]

I've slightly lost track of which Castle class carriages have gone to Ely. Is there an up to date list enywhere?

Update. They will be going to Swanage, as confirmed by the Heritage Centre themselves.

Storage at the moment. Being moved to Ely, but stopping at King's Norton in-between. Not sure what the future is for them mind....

Does anyone know which ex-LNER vehicles are involved?

I hope they’re overhauling the aircon

Tren Maya, perhaps? I understand they've cut back a bit on the planned OLE there.

Was just about to write the same thing

 

[ST156]

Can anyone confirm whether ex LNER Mk3 42110 is still based at Nemesis Rail, Burton-on-Trent?

 

[315801]

Similarly to a post I added in the mk3 LHCS thread, could these coaches not be exported to Mexico.

 

[Defiance149]

Can anyone confirm whether ex LNER Mk3 42110 is still based at Nemesis Rail, Burton-on-Trent?

Reported there in the last week or so and visible in a recent drone video.

 

[USRailFan]

Is there any truth in the rumours about an HST set (possibly two sets each with only one powercar?) going to Mexico?

No rumours about it. 3 power cars and 11 trailers gone there.

I've seen mentioned elsewhere on this forum that 42367 went to Sims Newport yesterday.

 

[TrainTrackJack]

42375 left Laira on a Low Loader this morning, presumably following 42367.

OK - seems XC not wasting much getting rid of their spare coaches ----- Peter

Disposal is a decision for the ROSCO - Porterbrook for these two - not XC.
