Ex-Virgin stock through Newport today?

[Techniquest]

Anyone knowing what Virgin (ex-Virgin no doubt) stock was being hauled about this morning through Newport (Gwent)? My sister just gave me an update regarding that as she was in Newport this morning, unlike me.

Is it likely to be ex-Virgin MK2s for overhaul, in passenger service or something else? If I can, I'll try and get more information, but that's as much as I know so far. Bear in mind my sister isn't an enthusiast.

Either way, I'm not happy at missing it.

I got this in the morning:

47813 0900 Glostr Lg Marston.

Nothing special other than that in Gloucester/Newport area.

Hmm, no ADEXs on today AFAIK, so something must be going down. Is it possible that some ex-VT DVTs have gone to Newport Docks for scrapping? That's crossed my mind, and I'll not be happy if that's the case! Can't be sure though, my sister didn't say much about them.

I think it was this... a ECS move back to crewe

805 & 847 1127 newpt with the CF Crewe.

Quite probably. Phew, I don't think I've missed anything then.
