Was there not talk that one if not two of them were going to FCC on loan to cover the refurbishment work on the 365s they will get while on holiday in Ilford

Wouldn't have thought they would go to Northern, its a long way away from their area, although FCC is closer than Northern FCC would probably prefer to take them to Hornsey, makes logistical sense

I think it has already been confirmed that the 317s are not going to Northern.

Just out of interest do GA still pay the lease whilst at Eastleigh

 

[Peter Mugridge]

They were stored off lease weren't they?

Yes, they were handed back and the leasing company will be paying to store them at Eastleigh.
