Too far from an HST...
I still can't get my head round how so relatively few power cars have actually been officially scrapped. According to Wikipedia 27 have, with 36 in store still. Then there's the many different operators and use types covering the majority of the fleet. The 19 unique cars in preservation must also be a record high for preserved units of a specific class.
They've definitely done well. Almost a privledge to be able to complain no ex-LNER powercars have been operationally preserved with such a vast fleet in preservation. Let's hope they're running for many more years.
