Yes U.444021 has been repaired, nice clean cab exterior, unit currently is wrong way round, 1st class country end.

Now U.444036 is at Northam Depot out of service on lengthy repairs to cab damage.

Ah thanks, shame with 036 but good to see a fix up of 021.

444021 at Brockenhurst - in service post repair. Note the new, unclouded head and tail lights on the repaired driver side vs second man side. Pity they couldn’t clean the gangway doors! Photo 15th Jan 2025 - the unit was the right way round / 1st class (repaired vehicle 63871) at the London end.
