Last year we lost quite a slew of services still running with droplight stock, with HSTs disappearing from LNER and GWR, and the Caledonian Sleeper going over to mk 5s.
So what's left - and what's likely to be the last place we can enjoy them on regular workings?
I think at the moment we have something like:
- EMR HSTs, due to last until some point this year?
- GA Mk3 sets, also being phased out this year/at the moment?
- Fife loco-hauled with mk2s, expected to last most of the year?
- Still some mk3 sets in Wales?
- A few 'classic' Scotrail HSTs but the plan is for these to be phased out and replaced with sliding door ones ASAP
- The Night Riviera - a candidate for the last surviving service, perhaps for a few years yet?
Have I missed anything?
