That's good to hear - at least they won't be scrapped any time soon. It's a shame that more of the Mk3s couldn't have been saved.

Technically they're owned by Electric Traction - ROG presumably hiring them.

Good to finally see the end of the storage of these vehicles as they make their way for shredding; as they never had any further use (being rejected from the EMR programme) it always seemed very strange to spend money storing them.

Five of the coaches were used by EMR until earlier this year - they weren't all EMR rejects.

Which just goes to show how utterly wasteful the railways have been in the last year. A lot of money was spent on those ex LNER Mk3s when they transferred over to EMR including new suspension to finally rid them of the Pegasus stuff (bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy), only to in some cases find use with EMR for about 6 months. All rather sad.
When has the privatised railway ever not been wasteful, honestly?

Very true, The 442 Saga for a start. As I’ve said before, it just frustrates me how, when the airline industry can be more forward thinking and very open to recycling, the railways attitude seems to be splash the cash then throw it in the bin.

Most certainly is ie the ex set from Barrow hill which was also in store there from January 2021.
When stored due to covid 19.
Service reductions.
Should have been two power cars and 7 x nl 51 ex mk3 coaches.
Originally moved to Neville Hill approximately early to mid June.
Memory serves me correctly.
However somewhere are on YouTube there is a video also off this move going through Leeds station.
Either way has been at leeds Neville Hill for past 3 months are so.

Chances are, the next thing you'll see NL51 on is Ely Papworth Sidings to Newport Sims Metals...

Can I confirm that this should have been vehicles 40748, 41120, 41150, 42091, 42150, 42154 and 44094?
If so, I have 41120 as Porterbook owned with the remainder Angel - if that is correct, I guess we may see different onward disposal routes and/or times?

As far as I know yes.
However any further information from the non urgent enguiry thread would be beneficial.
As far as I know Neville Hill should be free off mk3 coaches hst.
Possibly two power cars still there.
But unsure.

You can always look on Flickr.
Here's an example I found posted - 43317 at Manea | Ex LNER Class 43 No.43317 with No.43307 on … | Flickr

Correct.
41120 is Angel owned, that’s why it has gone to Ely. If it was Porterbrook’s it would have gone to Burton, then Long Marston with the rest of their vehicles.

Thanks.
Chaps, one more for the preserved list: 41095 - which has been purchased (and now delivered to) a private site. More to follow.
Two Appleby-Frodingham Mk3s have also been disposed of as follows:
44015 can be removed from the preserved list, as it has been purchased for a filming contract in Swansea, where it will likely be scrapped afterwards.
40713 Remains preserved, now as the static buffet at the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway.
The remaining examples I believe still exist at the site? Could someone confirm?

Please also add 40711 to the preserved list, as this has also now moved to the private site.

It isn’t. It’s Angel owned and was at Ely.

Good morning all,
Does anybody know what stock is on the 5Q42 Ely Papworth to Newport Simms this morning. Just passed Foxton and I am guesssing it is Mk 3s for scrap. Many thanks.

Reported as 57310 + 41120, 41150, 40748, 42091, 42150, 42154, 42407 and 42586. Barriers are 12180+10249
It certainly has been a mixed week for the former Angel / EMT Short sets - One vehicle saved for private use (41207), one vehicle heading to the scrapyard with 42586 in the consist. The Grim Reaper keeps calling for the Lets Go Farewell set but it appears to have escaped another week.
