HST coach disposals

[43096]

I have 40807 and 41161 there too. My records might not be up to date though.

They were there, but I think have moved on - they've been sold on for static re-use, I believe.

Any idea what sort of use?

I’d be interested if you have any details as they’re not shown on the list on page 1of this thread.

As the standing down and replacement of the EMT Sets continue, 43073 + 423 moved former NL01 Vehicles 41057, 40730 & 42111 from Neville Hill to Leicester today for onward preservation by the 125 Group.

Thanks for this. The original announcement had vehicles from NL03 being preserved by the 125 Group, so presumably there has been a swap?

No. These are in addition.

The three HST coaches that have been transfer to Leicester - 40730 41057 42111 were always going to the 125 Group - once they had finished their time with EMR. ..... Peter.

 

[Phil Scott]

Thanks for the replies. So to confirm, there should be another three vehicles from NL03 joining 40730, 41057 and 42111 at some point?

Correct - should be 40741, 41067 and 42119 also transferring.

These three HST Coaches are out of NL 01 -- There are a further three coaches going to 125 Group, number not know as yet , because they are still service with EMR. Peter.

Numbers are known. See above. They were published at the start of the year both in 125 Group’s magazine and in the railway press (Rail Express for definite) and the contract was agreed with Porterbrook back then.

Correct - should be 40741, 41067 and 42119 also transferring.

So in total, with the already owned TGS, a six car set plus spare buffet.

 

[Derbyshire Gra]

The Group also has three loco-hauled Mark IIIs and 10202 which is being converted to a brake vehicle to operate as either loco-hauled or HST.

Not many prervation groups have two locos and eleven carriages to look after.

The numbers are TFRB 40730 -- TF 41057 -- TS 42111 hope that information helps ... Peter.

That's the second time you've posted that - and it was posted before that - so it doesn't really help!

[Jamesrob637]

Has Wikipedia been updated with how many Mk3s remain in all settings?

Apologies if this has been asked before, but why are so many HST carriages still being sent for scrap?

In recent years GWR, Scotrail and Cross-Country have all reintroduced HSTs (after refurbishment) so the HST power cars and carriages currently off-lease should be kept in store as they may be a chance that they can be put back into service at some point.

The comfort levels and general ambience on an HST is far better than on Voyagers, IEPs, IETs, etc.
