Being used for spares(?) if this one was in good condition it would of been used by now not rusting away in some random siding at Leicester (and its properly being moved as EWS no longer use the yard)

Anyone know what will happen to the 58(s) currently at the Southampton end of Eastleigh yard?

They have mostly been stripped for parts to get the better ones usable for Europe, I would think they are likely to be stored there until the depot closes as a source of spares before have a one way trip to a Rotherham...
