I was on 4030 on Friday night. It was coupled with 4036.

To add to the last message, 555009 was also out on test, and I believe still is
4025 returned to service this morning after a couple of weeks out, though was pulled out with a fault shortly before 8am.

Any ideas on what it's working please?

Thanks, now swapped for 32+42 due to a rumoured fault on 4061 around 1pm.
4045 paired with 4061 on 106 this morning.

I will be updating the fleet list in due course. If I’m not mistaken, with the exception of the three withdrawn units (01, 10 and 40), all surviving units are in working order.
Can anyone provide an update on the condition of 4001? I’ve heard a couple of rumours about it which I’m hoping are incorrect…

When I went past the Depot last week, it looked as though 4003 was missing its pantograph, and I've not seen it around for a couple of weeks now. 4036 has also been missing for a while, but other than that I think everything else has been in service.
What were the rumours?
I think the fact it's been virtually outdoors with not a lot of movement at times would suggest it won't do much good for the unit. The fact it's been inside the depot for 4 years and it still has not left would suggest preservation looks unlikely.

They've got to preserve 4001!! Its the only surviving prototype.
I see Stadler 500028 has entered service according to info I have recieved, so I wonder if 4010 and 4040 have their funerals arranged!!

It’s a shame they didn’t just preserve 4002. That seems to have been in fairly good condition at the point where it was scrapped.
Always felt internally 4002 looked in better condition in terms of interior lighting, not sure if the diffusers were slightly different in terms of colour but 4002 always seemed to have brighter lighting than 4001 where the interior just seemed somewhat darker.

I agree! I loved the heavy doors on 4001 and 4002.

It's been early April since I've seen 4003 & 4036. I've also not seen 4016 during April.

4016 was sent for scrap on April 3rd, the list was last updated the day prior hence it still showing up as operational

This thread has gone a bit quiet! Is anything happening??

4003 is presumably withdrawn at the moment, as with 4036 and including 4013. 4016 went for scrap in April which will explain why you did not see it.

Any sign of 4030 or 4059 out today?

4030 is stopped at the moment.
4036 out in service today.

4059 is now paired with 4039.
It was on T107 on the day that I am writing this.
Yeah they do suprise us with metrocar returns when some are off for weeks on end.

List in opening post updated.
I know it's a long shot but would anyone be able to help with more precise withdrawal dates for the Metrocars that have already been withdrawn? With the exception of 07, 22, 40 and 83, all of the withdrawal dates on the list at present are vague, some more so than others, and it would be good to have more precise dates for them.
