With the rather sad disappearance of fleets such as classes 332 and 365, I’ve been wondering which fleets over the years have had the shortest operational lives, either in full or in part.
I’m not so much considering prototype fleets like the class 210 or APT, though feel free to mention these too.
Off the top of my head two contenders are of course class 332 and 365, and a generation ago the class 312s weren’t much longer. Then there’s the LU 1983 stock which only managed 10-15 years.
Also be interested in thoughts as to why such fleets had short lives.
