Um 37218/407 are on a long term lease to ROG.
Europhoenix now have an operating licence and known as Europhoenix Rail Services so no doubt you will see 218/407/423 out and about for ERS (not to be confused with Eastern Rail Services).

What do Europhoenix plan to do with their operating license?

Your guess is as good as mine but rail services as the name suggests may hazard a guess to what they will be doing.

An update on 37901 as WNXX report that it has been painted into **'Freight Grey'** at Loughborough, 'it has cast BR arrows at one end and the Europhoenix logo has been cast into the BR sector style depot plate', no date for its photographic debut as yet
** Railfreight Metals has been reported

Beautiful! These machines continue to dazzle in heritage liveries!

Is that a locomotive accurate paint scheme? Looks good either way! ( paint wibble there!)
It is indeed! See 901 in Carlisle in the 1990s before application of the ‘Big T’ Transrail livery.

The loco is getting around. It worked 5L48 Scunthorpe to Great Yarmouth today. Photo of the loco with 10 Mk3 coaches in tow on Ely West Curve
Trailers for export?

I think some of not all of the white coaches in the consist were used with the test run of 93001 the other week

I believe 37423 failed on its test run and was sent elsewhere for repairs

Anyone know the status of the ex DRS machines at Barrow Hill?
I understand 37422 and 425 are getting developments and have to be available for the RHTT season - I just need to know when they will be released operational.
It appears 37419/424/612 are sat at Barrow Hill awating developments (37612 needs an overhaul)
Not sure how 37716 is doing but probably won't be ready for a while yet.

Why do you 'need to know' this? If they are being worked on in time for the RHTT season as you claim they may well not be back in traffic until late September / early October.

At the time i updated the list I was not aware that 37423 had failed, I will update the list. Do you know when 37423 will be sent back to Leicester to have another attempt at a test run?

I believe 37423 failed with a brake fault. I think it was pulled in somewhere on route and I am unsure if it got back to Leicester or if it has been placed elsewhere.
I don't know when 423 will run again but 069 might be first?

Sounds like that pair that included 37901.

A couple of updates:
37401 is serviceable and is at Eastleigh receiving a repaint into Scotrail livery (same as 409)
37425 has completed a 'Full load test' at Barrow Hill shown here
