Of the extant VT DVTs, 82101 & 82126 (ex-Pretendolino) are DRS-owned, and stored at MOD Longtown; 82138 & 82150 are Arriva-owned, and still (AIUI) at Long Marston. 82116, 82120, 82137, 82141 & 82148 were all scrapped there on site in the last year.

82138 is DATS owned and has been moved to Derby RTC. 82116/120/137/141/148 were all scrapped at Booth's in Rotherham, not on site at Long Marston.

With today's Class 90 move does that mean all the legacy stock has gone from Crown Point or are there still some Mk3s about?

A few dumped in the Low Level Sidings at Norwich Station awaiting movement elsewhere but that's it.

Thanks for the info, hard to imagine compared to the last time I went to Norwich earlier in the year and there seemed to be Mk3s everywhere!

Have they finished the changes to the depot now the legacy stock has gone? (Apologies if I missed that info!).

Yes just about all done on Crown Point. Everything now is Stadler apart from the odd visit of EMTs 158s each day. I'm not sure even if the 08s have any use now as these are not part of any depot plans moving forward.

82114 has moved to the Northhampton and Lamport Railway. It will be fitted with a generator to allow non ETH locos to work with it.

surely there must be times when units need to be move without power?

With the GA Mk3s having now left the franchise I think it's time to draw this thread to a close. Anything else that anyone wants to pick up (I see we were starting a little chat about the Crown Point 08 for instance) would be welcome in a new thread dedicated to that topic otherwise moment of silence for the Mk3s please ;)
