I hoped maybe Locomotive services at Crewe may acquire it for use on charters.

These are CAF's first tender steps into the British Inter-city market, they are reintroducing LHCS (what we all want to see once more) so I think patience is the name of the game. AndrewE You're obviously not suggesting the maintenance is poor and making the train unreliable.
