A question back from the mists of time, although I suspect there are some knowledgeable people on here who may know the answer....
As far as I recall it, DRS have had ownership of two tranches of Mark 3s. An initial batch of first class vehicles that were used to form a short-lived "Stobart Pullman" train - around 2007? - and (perhaps?) first class hire vehicles.
There was then a second batch of vehicles they took on later (including 11006/011, 12047/063/065/087/134), around 2013(?).
I'd be interested in confirmation as to which vehicles were involved in each tranche and approximate dates when DRS bought and sold them (I know the sell dates for the final batch). What the intended use was would also be interesting to know!
Thanks in advance!
