Or more 5th coaches. The last lot went up loco hauled between barriers.At 245 tonnes and 95mph this must be the set that went behind a 47 for warranty work a couple of months ago. Taking the scenic route via the Tyne Valley, must need turned

Cadder doesn't look ready to take anything - lots of orange visible yesterday.Nothing arrived at Cadder yet, first 5 car derailed under test (unrelated) and stock still at Wabtec
I don’t think they are quite ready for envisioned full timetable of 4/5 car HST running next week.

57 + 2 barriers + 4 HST coaches, just seen it go past york railcam right nowAnd rolling …..
How do you find out the configuration? ie is it all “5th” coaches ? Or the remedial work coaches+ ?
43030 is to be stripped for spares and 43128 is being slowly rebuilt after being used as a spares donor.Seen on WNXX that 43030 has moved from Glasgow Works to haymarket, I'm assuming it may return to service or is it becoming a spare donor like 43185.
Any news on 43128 which I'm assuming it hasn't worked a scotrail train when it was repainted in October 2018
Also reported that 43140 and all coaches of HA22 have been 'disposed of', i.e. scrapped. Inevitable, really.Seen on WNXX that 43030 has moved from Glasgow Works to haymarket, I'm assuming it may return to service or is it becoming a spare donor like 43185.

I'm pretty sure that in this context "disposed of" means that they have been written off by ScotRail and are no longer their property. As @Highlandspring said, it's unlikely that they'll be scrapped any time soon.Also reported that 43140 and all coaches of HA22 have been 'disposed of', i.e. scrapped. Inevitable, really.
They moved from Glasgow works a couple of weeks ago. They were all lifted onto low loaders and removed. One got stuck blocking Springburn road for a good whileThey are still in existence and located at Glasgow Works for now. They'll be moving to an alternate storage facility at some point but they will be retained until the COPFS has concluded the Fatal Accident Inquiry, which is likely to take a few years.
43140 and HA22 were off leased some weeks ago by ScotRail. It will be Angel (and their insurers) that will have written them off. ScotRail don’t own them.I'm pretty sure that in this context "disposed of" means that they have been written off by ScotRail and are no longer their property.

Ah thanks for the update, I was led to believe it would be the towards the end of May/start of June they were moving.They moved from Glasgow works a couple of weeks ago. They were all lifted onto low loaders and removed. One got stuck blocking Springburn road for a good while
Sorry, thanks for the correction. I was originally going to write "ScotRail no longer count them as assets" but got lazy.43140 and HA22 were off leased some weeks ago by ScotRail. It will be Angel (and their insurers) that will have written them off. ScotRail don’t own them.
Not being an obsessive record keeper, are these more of the additional '5th coaches' or is the set which was taken South for warranty work some time ago?Reported on HSTgen as 57312 + 6340,42185,42144,42054,42077,6330
They are all 42xxx TS...Not being an obsessive record keeper, are these more of the additional '5th coaches' or is the set which was taken South for warranty work some time ago?
More '5th vehicles'. There's just five more to be delivered to complete the order following this delivery.Not being an obsessive record keeper, are these more of the additional '5th coaches' or is the set which was taken South for warranty work some time ago?
Any news on 43133 as this is one of only two Scotrail power cars that I haven’t yet had for haulage (the other of course being 43128)
I have 43133 as having not worked a service for Scotrail since around the 2nd September 2019 - not even sure where it currently is but I’m assuming it’s somewhere in Haymarket?
43133 definitely hasn’t worked any services for Scotrail since at least the start of September 2019 - if it had been out around your said date I would’ve had it for haulage. Can only assume you’re thinking of 43033? As it was through Perth a few times around the 4th December 202043133 last seen working was 4th December 2020 in Perth however believe it is somewhere in Haymarket still
