I am surprised tthat they chose to retain/bin complete rakes rather than cherry picking the best condition examples and reforming the rakes

Does anyone know if there are any 91s or DVTs currently in scrapyards that haven't been dismantled yet?

No 91s have gone for scrap yet.

Not aware of any Mk4 DVTs having gone recently. One went to Sims in Hull but that was a while back so it will almost certainly have been broken up by now.

82203 has also been scrapped I believe

No only the one involved in the Great Heck accident and the one sent to Sims last summer have been scrapped.

Many Mk4s are gone, two DVTs (only one in the last 20 years though) and no 91s although one 91 is a demic at Doncaster Works, or was just prior to COVID.

I've seen a picture taken within the past few weeks of 91108 in the yard at Doncaster, beside the works, so it's still around.

That's incorrect. Three DVTs have gone for scrap:
82221 after Great Heck in 2001
82217 in July 2020
82203 in December 2020

82217 went to Sims in Hull - did 82203 go there as well?

Thanks

A colleague who lives in Hull tells me that he saw what sounds to be a Mk4 DVT on a lorry in the city today. Another one going for scrap?

Seen a post on Facebook showing what looked like a Mk4 coach on a low loader heading for Hull Scrapyard. No ID though, if anyone can help ?

Seen another post on facebook today showing at least 3 ex-lner Mk4 coaches at Sims in Peterborough in the line up to go in the crusher. Can anyone confirm what coaches and dvt’s have now been chopped ?

To my knowledge, the following is the current fleet status. Further info and / or corrections welcomed.

Including the vehicles scrapped after the Hatfield and Great Heck incidents, scrapped to date are the following:
10302-03-10-17-19-20-22-27-29
11213-19-24-41-44-73-77-80-81-83-90-91-92-93-94-99 .. 302-03-27-28-29-30 .. 402-03-05-10-11-19-20-21-22-23-24-25-27-28-29 .. 998
12201-06-16-18-27-32
12301-02-06-14-17-18-19-20-21-22-31
12400-01-02-03-12-13-25-38-41-45-48-49-50-55-56-57-58-59-60-62-64-66-70-71-73-76-78-88-516-19-22-25-38
82202-03-17-19-21-28

Stored at Long Marston are 12472-534.

Stored at Doncaster (long term, assumed parts donors) are 11430-999 .. 12439-40-63-533

With TfW are 10312-25-28 .. 11323-24-25 .. 12217-19-25 .. 12446-47-54 .. 82216-26-29

With LNER, albeit not in use at present, are:
10300-06-09-11-13-24-33
11229-79-84-85-86-88-95 .. 306-08-12-13-15-17-26 .. 406-08-12-13-15-17-26
12205-08-12-14-20-23-26-28
12303-09-11-13-25-28-30
12404-06-07-09-20-22-24-26-27-29-30-31-32-42-44-65-69-74-81-85-515
82205-08-11-12-13-14-23-25

Anything not listed above is at Worksop, though it seems the clear out is starting with vehicles being taken to both Peterborough and Newport for disposal in recent weeks and more in the system for Newport next week.
