Was about to post the same thing as I was also wondering if there was any confirmation of this.I’ve seen reports the three GWR franchise asset units 617/8/9 are sold to the West Somerset Railway, anyone heard more on this?
Yep fully agree move most of the seats into bays of 4 little cup tables and good to go, the 115 at Minehead is not in the best condition, hopefully keep a look out for a 144 centre car to make a three car, yeah i see no downsidesGreat news if so!

The WSR don't seem to have a good record with DMUs having broken several up. Will the same happen with the 143s? Are they seen as a cheap replacement for the DMUs to use until worn out and be replaced by sprinters in years to come?Yep fully agree move most of the seats into bays of 4 little cup tables and good to go, the 115 at Minehead is not in the best condition, hopefully keep a look out for a 144 centre car to make a three car, yeah i see no downsides
