Plymouth visit/GWR Power-cars

[43185]

Was in Devon last week which included a trip into Plymouth on Tues 21/05 & saw all the power cars there that had been used on those last runs on the 18th. When i got back to Plymouth station i was grabbing a few pics of the short hst's when all of a sudden 43185 Great Western coupled up to 43160 Sir Moir Lockhead turned up & sat on a bay platform for about 15mins before departing back in the direction of LA. Not sure what it was doing, poss off lease, but it seemed a little strange after the events of the previous saturday to get a picture of hst's on three different platforms ?

Probably turning the power cars around and test running maybe. And 43185 has now gone off lease.

Loads of power cars and trailers at Laira on view yesterday. Seems a lot of stuff there still to go off-lease.
Does anyone know how much GWR are holding on to - particularly until the Gti sets are complete?
