A double set of GWR first class Primrius seats on eBay:

These are from an ex ScotRail Mk.3 by look of the blue unbranded headrest...
Thank you

Thank you
They are I think from the ex GWR / Scotrail half first half standard class carriage which arrived at Booths on the 24th of March for disposal don’t know how the seller got them though as I called booths to ask for them and they refused saying the coaches were stripped? Maybe an insider?

I have slightly lost track of the dispersal of EMR HST vehicles. My notes suggest that the following are still at EMR depots:

40748 41150 42091 42150 42154 42159 44057 44094

Can anyone confirm their location?

Thanks in anticipation

42159 and 44057 are/were at NL, but would expect they would be on today’s move to Newport.

The others (and 41120) are at Barrow Hill awaiting a move to Ely.

I have 42237 42326 44075 as well, or have they moved on?

They’ve just had a second (or indeed third or fourth) life!
Okay, they has a second life with EMR (they were ex LNER) but I was meaning that I hoped they would go into preservation, or some other use - not being crushed in the Newport shredders.

Crushed in a shredder ?? :lol: :lol:
I know what you mean, but just for clarity....
crushers crush and shredders shred. Crushing is 1 form of compacting, whereas shredding is completely the opposite, as it's basically ripping it up into little pieces.

42111 should also be on the list and 42170 should read 42120.

If you mean “bought by”, then no. They remain owned by 125 Group.

You don't think you're asking a bit much? Over 350 HST trailers scrapped and you're expecting dates and places.
