Ah yes my mistake, shows 295 and 296 as in IECP.

That’s what they show as on the National Vehicle Register.
Beat me to it.
Hasn't there been a red buffet car in a EMT set for at least a couple of years?
On and off. The buffet was shared between LNER and EMT/R.
No idea! But I noticed it yesterday, and it stood out.
The LNER versions are more compliant (or less non-compliant) to the PRM-TSI regulations, and therefore more suitable until they are replaced when the new electric timetable commences.

The ex-LNER HSTs will remain for the rest of the year as they are "more compliant" when it comes to accessibility requirements.
And yes, that is correct. Porterbrook will be donating two of the EMR Class 43s to the 125 Group, but I don't remember if it is proposed for them to be refitted with the original Valentas.

125 Group’s objectives very clearly state that the aim is to preserve a Valenta fitted power car, so expect one to be converted back at least.
Only VP hsts out today. Most likely to cycle round all the sets.

There isn’t much of an alternative until the Class 360s are available, and the ex-Hull Class 180s are back in traffic.

Highly debatable given the cost involved.

It was worth it, but with the minimal number of people using the services now, and in the immediate future, maybe less so now
Especially as the number of passengers who need the PRM modifications must be tiny at the moment

I would bet none, because they're unlikely to be essential workers.

I can see the PRM compliance exemption being extended again, as we are probably at least two months behind with manufacturing of replacement stock and training for a lot of operators.
The replacement stock for the HSTs already exists.
A large portion of that stock is currently in use awaiting new trains to come online.
I didn't realise that Hitachi had already built them all?

Has there been any official update on the 360 move?
I have heard unofficial rumours that AGA might not, in fact, be in a position to release them by the end of the year due to issues introducing their new fleet.
In which case I wonder if we might see HSTs continuing in service on the MML until the 810s are introduced.

Not this again. Please go and read up on EMR’s cascade plan - it’s been done several times already on here.
