The current situation has seen changes in stock use with, it seems, some trains being retired earlier than planned. That I know of, Greater Anglia have withdrawn their Mark 3 fleet, and should easily have enough 745s in service by the time they can go back to a "normal" timetable. Likewise, Scotrail have withdrawn the "classic" shortened HSTs and will hopefully only have refurbs from now on.
What of other operators? are East midlands still running HSTs? They'll not have the replacement fleet in place this year. The other would be Chiltern-I'm guessing the Banbury set isn't running? I've heard that this is to be replaced, but will the replacement get powered doors?
