All going well, I should be capturing the first 922 departure out of Glasgow Buchanan Bus Station tomorrow morning 8-) Will be interesting to see the other coach Hairy Haggis will need to deploy on the route during weekdays 1711668824 More likely M77/A77 then A78

Can confirm it is 506 heading down to Eastleigh; just seen a pic of it on Flickr

Don’t suppose 111 has used up its final ticket to ride to Newport yet?

I would‘ve thought that was long since cut up at Booths but I will be totally astonished if it was still intact in some way!

Anyone hoping to see the three Class 144s with Vintage Trains back on the mainline, sadly that will not be the case. Been reported in this month’s Railway Magazine that 144014 went to R Davies Metals & Sons, Kingswinford for disposal last month and that the other (019 and 020) will be or have...

Are any of the Renatus sets at Worksop?

I’m sure it came down to them being due for overhauls or something like that

502 + 504 en-route to Kingsbury for the chop. Tbh I’m surprised they’re not headed to the usual location of Sims Metals Newport, guess they must be busy chopping up other stock

How may 317s are now left awaiting their doom at Ely?

The nameplates on 91115 should be removed at Newport before they tear the loco apart

116, 118 and 121 will be Newport bound as well eventually. Will have to assume that the nameplates on both 115 and 118 will be removed at the site prior to dismantling as was the case in previous occasions

The loco arrived earlier on so it appears that this overnight move to Newport is a go

Surprised it’s taken this long for the first of them to be taken away for disposal

Last time we’ll see 315s on the mainline too

And so we have the final 315 scrap move

Thought all of 437 and 448 had been disposed of?

Think you mean 853 + 857

Even with 315s going up to Booths for the chop, they’ll still have TDOs on them

837 + 857 will be off to Sims Metals Newport on Monday with 853 heading up to Booths Rotherham the following day

837 + 857 should be the pair headed for Newport. 853 will be the last one to go for scrap and that should be Booths bound on Tuesday
