Hi y'all, I'm currently looking for allocation dates and general information on HST sets/power cars that were withdrawn or scrapped around 2011/2012. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated.

There weren’t any HST power cars scrapped around that time.

Surely no 43s were scrapped that early, were they?

Except the three accident damaged cars 43011 (Ladbroke Grove), 43019 (Ufton Nervet) and 43173 (Southall). Next to go was 43140 (Carmont derailment).

Outside of the several power cars destroyed/damaged beyond repair in the Southall, Ladbroke Grove, Ufton Nervet and Stonehaven crashes, no power cars were scrapped before the 2020s. Have you possibly confused the HSTs with another class?
