116, 118 and 121 will be Newport bound as well eventually. Will have to assume that the nameplates on both 115 and 118 will be removed at the site prior to dismantling as was the case in previous occasions
116, 118 and 121 could be following as early as Friday. Possible that 131 may be alone at Belmont for a few days before moving to Bo’ness and leaving the site devoid of 91s for the first time in 3 years. 84001 has already left Bo’ness in preparation for 91131’s arrival.
Belmont will be playing a role in the delivery of the new Tyne & Wear Metro fleet, I wonder if the sudden departure of the remaining 91s from the site, when there’s been no movement there for nearly 2 years, is to make space for those deliveries.
