TOCs 'maintaining' other's TOCs trains.

[hacman]

XC HSTs are currently maintained by EastCoast at Craigentinny. No XC stock goes to Haymarket.

They are often stabled at Neville Hill (EMT) and Laira (FGW), although only the basics such as fueling are performed.

For example, tonight Craigentinny has 4 XC HSTs, and the other is at Neville Hill.

Voyagers for XC and Virgin all go to Central Rivers for maintenance, although this is a Bombardier facility so doesn't count as a TOC - they are simply going back to the manufacturer under contract, much like when class 185 units go back to Siemens.

I guess for this discussion to be constructive, you have to define exactly what counts as maintenance.

Since when have EC had a depot at Neville Hill, there is an EMT depot there though.

The HSTs are maintained by EC at Haymarket.

Sorry, got my wires crossed.

Craigentinny surely. Haymarket is Scotrail and I doubt a HST would fit.

oops, obviously I meant Craigentinny

I was even looking at an allocation book which had EC for the code, where Haymarket come from I havent a clue, maybe I need to take a bit more water with it?
