Today (Thursday 06th March 2025) whilst at Leicester I witnessed both 769549 and 769535, at Leicester Light Loco Depot, Gbrf owned being driven around on various shunt moves, to the up and down goods loop around the side of platform 4 and back into the depot again.

Obviously they are now being moved on shunt moves around the depot and station areas at Leicester.

They look very nice and new outside, very nicely turned out and immaculate.
Also underneath have had a lot of work done to them, inside have proper parcels shelves fitted as well,

Meanwhile whilst running around they sound very healthy and ready for service for the parcels trials as already mentioned elsewhere on here, please feel free to update any further trials or sightings on this thread or any updates into service, testing etc please.

Kind regards
Warwickshire
