I was under the impression that 3417, after being taken out of service by SWT, was going to the Bluebell. In fact, I seem to recall they used it once or twice, which would correspond with what Wikipedia says.
However, the Class 423 page on Wikipedia says the unit is stored at Bournemouth depot, then later on says it's at East Grinstead. Neither is correct -it's been at Clapham sheds for the last couple of weeks. I know it's been moved as it was on a different road yesterday than it was last Sunday!
So, given it's owned by the Bluebell, it must be costing them a fortune to keep it at Clapham?
(Oh, and I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source of information sometimes, but I've often found the train related pages to be at least slightly up to date!)

On 1497 and 1498. Wikipedia says 1497 is at the Mid Norfolk and 1498 at the Epping - Ongar. I know little of the Mid Norfolk, but has there been anything happening at the Epping-Ongar to prevent 1498 going the same way of some of their previous stock? (ie, vandalized to the point of being turned into scrap?)
