Ex Virgin MK2 being moved to Derby RTC today

[tcm1106]

Evening all,

Whilst leaving work today at Derby RTC, I was held up by an ex-Virgin BR MK2 being moved into the site on the back of an Allelys low loader. Anyone know where this was from and why it has been taken there?!

Cheers

I know we are after some more Mk.2's for brake force vehicles as the current brake force fleet are slowly being converted into new test coaches.

Makes sense.

Have to be honest, it wasn't in good nick...

Ah, Hence the Mk2 in the new Snow Train then - Thaught that looked rather ex Gatwick.
