I’d love to know when, as I can not recall any Mk4s working in passenger service on the Midland Mainline ever!Short answer, because BR! It must've been late early 90s. It was a 47 on the front iirc.

Amazing. Remember the West Coast diversions complete with 87s and 90s in the early 1990s, but never a East Coast electric diversion.Short answer, because BR! It must've been late early 90s. It was a 47 on the front iirc.
That’s is probably what ‘43302’ is referring to. Wcml stick with dvtAmazing. Remember the West Coast diversions complete with 87s and 90s in the early 1990s, but never a East Coast electric diversion.
Interesting piece her about Mk4s not been route clearedShort answer, because BR! It must've been late early 90s. It was a 47 on the front iirc.
I can assure you I am on about a Mk4 set on the MML I'll see if I can dig out a photo.That’s is probably what ‘43302’ is referring to. Wcml stick with dvt

Mk 4s on the Midland

I remember this one, I think at was an East Coast Leeds to London service that got very diverted, industrial action springs to mind. I think it was 47 402 that hauled itI can assure you I am on about a Mk4 set on the MML I'll see if I can dig out a photo.

225 group tweeting the following services, beggining with that service :As things currently stand 91127+NL17 are expected to re enter service on Wednesday morning working 1A09 0715 Leeds - Kings Cross. Subject to the usual disclaimers.
Once it arrives at Leeds on 1D09 this will then go ecs to Neville Hill due to a fault on dvt.225 group tweeting the following services, beggining with that service :

Funnily enough I saw this as I was walking down Briggate in my lunch hour - couldn’t quite work out what it was until I saw the DVT.Once it arrives at Leeds on 1D09 this will then go ecs to Neville Hill due to a fault on dvt.
My last listing has the following at Worksop:Looking at the most recent Fleet List update from the 225 group, only two Mk4 vehicles are now reported as being stored at Worksop - DVTs 82210 & 82218.
Others in store until recently now scrapped or at Doncaster Wabtec.
10307, 11316, 12229, 12308, 12526, 82204, 82206 - all sold to TfW; reported moved from Worksop (to Doncaster?)My last listing has the following at Worksop:
10307, 11316, 12229, 12308, 12410, 12526, 82204, 82206, 82210 and 82218
Have any of these (apart from 82210 & 82218) moved to Doncaster or have they all gone for scrap?
If the latter, is it known where they were cut up?
TIA

Within the last year. If I recall correctly they haven’t all been fitted yet.Another question, what year the Class 91 were fitted with pantograph lights (which I believe they have overhead camera)?
Perhaps a request by Eversholt to strip them to provide parts for the LNER fleet, which I suppose is cheaper than ordering in new spares providing they arent already knackered. I also believe they use a traditional gas axe on them compared to the excavators as its a bit much for them to handle.Sims Metals seem to be unusually taking their time as pics have emerged on Fb showing 91122 + 91128 still awaiting their doom at the Newport site
Think an excavator with a grab handle was used to rip apart 91132 at Sims Metals Beeston last year, however the ones that went to Booths a few months ago will have definitely been gas axedPerhaps a request by Eversholt to strip them to provide parts for the LNER fleet, which I suppose is cheaper than ordering in new spares providing they arent already knackered.

12410 - sent to Booth's for disposal in May.

I liked the VTEC livery but the new one is truly exceptional. However I don't believe there is any internal refurbishment planned for the LNER sets, so the smoking compartment dividers are still there - and indeed set NL16 has one in its Coach K, too, as it was formerly Coach M in BN18.I do also like the swallow livery which has been applied to an MK4 rake, I think it looks far smarter than the tacky Virgin livery. I wonder if the former smoking compartment dividers will be retained in the refurbishment.
Does NL16’s coach K not have the crew rest area then?I liked the VTEC livery but the new one is truly exceptional.

I'm told it does not, but I haven't been on it yet so happy to be proved wrong!Does NL16’s coach K not have the crew rest area then?
