All in EMT livery now; a shame because it really suited the HSTs

Agreed but lets face it passengers don't give a hoot.

There are two ex-mml buffet cars in Long Marston which came from the sets that CrossCountry now have.

I presume we're not talking about the "old" Midland Mainline livery of teal green and tangerine here, and more focusing on the newer blue, grey and white scheme? I can't get my head around the concept of the blue/grey Midland Mainline livery being considered as "old".

40723 is in the blue/grey Midland Mainline livery and stored at Long Marston, trawling through the Platform 5 Combined Volume to find any others is too much work for me though.

43060 is the only remaining EMT power car in Midland Mainline blue. 43074 is in MML blue also but this went to East Coast with 43072. I would expect they will be painted up pretty soon.

40723 & 40732 were the buffet cars.

40723 is still at Long Marston. 40732 is back with EMT to replace 40729 which was damaged in an accident

42324 is at Neville Hill but has been sold to the Fire Training College

The buffet car (40729) is still at N/L but the TS has long since gone to as already said the fire service. It's sat out of the way now and is only visible when actually on the shed. If anyone is interested, the old intercity mark 2 BSO that was visible when passing N/L is dumped next to the buffet. Both awaiting a trip to the scrap man.
