Off lease HST's.

[adrock1976]

Could somebody clarify if 43079 (I have this marked as part of the batch that are going off-lease with no new home to go to) is still in service, as that is my final GW powercar that is required for haulage?

Yes, was with 078 on today's 1103 PAD - PLY apparently.

Paddington to Plymouth...?

As opposed to what alternative?

Paddington to Plymouth...?

That's the 3 letter code for them stations. It's easier to say.

 

[nat67]

Has 43193+43197 headed off to Long Marston yet?

 

[EE Andy b1]

Are GBRf still thinking of using HSTs for some sort of fast freight movement or has that idea been scrapped?

 

[anamyd]

As opposed to what alternative?

one that doesn't comply with forum rules.

 

[43096]

one that doesn't comply with forum rules.

That's as maybe, but anyone who can't work out where PAD and PLY are in the context of GWR HSTs probably wouldn't be understanding much of what is posted regardless.

i worked out PAD but had to look up PLY. And I disagree, when you're so used to using abbreviations like that it's obviously easy to forget that what they mean is not always as obvious as you might think.

Many thanks for that.

I need to hope that it is still in service on 30 March when I am next in London.

There is a Laira to Long Marston path in for tomorrow (Monday). Anyone know what power cars are involved?

It could be 070 and 197? So I'm guessing 017/174 have been stored at Ely then?

43017 and 43174 with eight coaches moved from St Philip's Marsh to Ely Papworth Sidings on Tuesday 5th March.

So they will not be stored with the rest of 053/069 at Long Marston.
