Yes, the fibreglass cab looks to have taken the brunt of the damage. Nothing that can't be fixed. But with only a few weeks to go until the HST's bow out, and so many services now being diagrammed to IET, there surely must be plenty of spare power cars.Seen a pic, 313 certainly looks a write off, hell of a gouge out of its driver side front/side. 08 looks unscathed!!!

Agreed, but it is the railway after all. It will probably get repaired and a week or so later join the other 43s at Ely
Rather depends if Angel have another lease lined up for it. The composition of the EMR fleet after this December still isn’t publicly known, for example.Looks like a one way trip to Rotherham for that power car.
The first of many
Whichever one was stationary was stopped too close to the points I imagine. If I were the fat controller (as opposed to merely...) I'd send the culprit out to apologise to 43313. Apologies for getting silly.
43299 running about without its bottom skirt on, that was on an Aberdeen-London service today.
If you looked at the image linked to earlier you would realise it couldn’t possibly be 43313 that is running with no front skirt.May just be a coincidence but a HST power car without its lower fibreglass "valance" (not sure of the technical term) was on the rear of todays 1E15 ABD-KGX. I'd suspect that it was 43313. It certainly was an interesting sight.

Unless there's been another one, that's 43075 which was withdrawn from service with LNER for that reason along with set NL65 a little while ago. Rumour has it that it'll be stripped for spares at Neville Hill to keep other class members going.Heard a rumour of an EMR power car with an big alternator problem that probably won’t be repaired/replaced
Not a good couple of days for the old faithful.
It’s gone to Ely to join the other Angel stored HST vehicles.43313 finally departed BN on 05/03/2020 around 20:15 - Destination unknown as I was only just booking on for work when this was at the gate.
