An article in Railway Magazine suggests that by the end of CP5 (2019) approx 35 miles of sidings will be required to store redundant rolling stock (approx 2500) that are being displaced by new rolling stock.
Amongst the stock listed are,
Mk3 carriages Abellio Greater Anglia,
Mk4's Virgin Trains East Coast (VTEC),
HSTs and trailers with GWR and VTEC,
Caledonian Mk3 sleeping cars,
Class 313/507/508 EMUs,
Class 14x Pacers.
Class 442s (as per thread) warm store with the hope they may find a new user
Whilst numerous threads cover most if not all of the relevant stocks listed,
Is there a real problem looming and if so where would the extra sidings be found ? or simply is it a storm in a tea cup ?
