Were they not just stopped for wheelsets? 90025/031 to Freightliner as well, more than likely for spares

Think 033 was virtually a shell anyway having been robbed of most parts

Today was down to the closure of the line at Hyndland last night, so the pair of 334s ended up spending the night at Motherwell TMD Someone was pushed on to the track

Services today a mix of 4 and 6 cars

Apologies this is off topic, but if anyone in Wolverton, could they pm me or post here or another thread on what work is getting done on Scotrail unit 156456 please. If it is pm’d to me then I will keep it confidential unless told I can lost detail Thanks

With the hotel being demolished at the buffer ends, it will be interesting to see if platform 1 and 2 are eventually extended to take 7 or 8 coaches, to keep Platform 3 and 4 empty removing several shunts
