    Class 508 scrapped carriages?

    Can anyone clarify the existence or non existence of the following 508 carriages. 64667, 64680, 64710, 64720, 64723. The last I heard about 64710, 64720 was that they were at Ilford, but I'm going back probably 6 years ago. And the rest were spares donors at Eastleigh. Thanks.

    Is the Tyne Tees Ranger valid on Grand Central trains? I seem to recall discretion by GC grippers allowing this. Is that right? I'm looking to have 3 days up in that area this weekend.
