57605 becomes the first item of stock to receive attention in the new build part of Long Rock.
Also, it is rumoured that the first refurbished buffet/lounge for the Riviera 10217 should be released from Wolverton end of February...... .
Looks like the Saturday summer veg-ex IS running. Need final confirmation.
Thanks for this - much appreciated!There are just 2 SLEPs left in service not done currently on up mon/wed/Fri. First buffet due end Feb. All 3 B coaches done and 1 brake in works. Will update fleet list this week at some point.

Currently A/B/C with D/E/F/G being SLEPs with H on fri down/sun up. !2 berths per coach, all convertable but bedding made up as 6 single, 6 double (which can be made back to single if bookings on the day require) per coach. Seating PZ end, SLEPs London end. Once refurb is complete, an additional SLEP will also be included. Dont know when this will be yet !
Where will they take the refurbished coached to cause thy used to go to Old Oak Common?
I dont think there is a set letter yet for the position of the DSLEP (1 per set) but D would be logical as its closest to the lounge car. There will be different berth numbers in that coach as there will be both a larger berth and an easy access toilet too.
The lastcoach received came down in the usual way, road to OC, fitness to run exam, then ECS in set to us for exams. OC is not wholly closed yet.
