Although the 2-car 221 as worked alone around central rivers on the final leg of last years charity charter around the depots lines, I think its not allowed under its own power on the mainline like that. (It was/(still is?) fitted with a compressor in one of the luggage areas which enabled it to move alone).

Im sure someone with clarifiy.

Ah right, id forgottern about 144! well as I live next to the line, I'm gonna try and get a shot, just jot to hope that my business exam finishes 1030 on the dot, then try to cut 5 minutes off the cycle home to get back in time

When Arriva gained the Crosscountry franchise Virgin were allocated three 4-carriage 221s, 221142-144. They reformed two of these into five carriage trains so that they matched the main part of Virgins' fleet using the two intermediate carriages from the third unit. This left just the two driving cars from 221144.
