Husband is only 2 years older than 4001 and 4002, it turns out! (I was at school when they were built. I'm old!)
(17 May 2016, 8:31 pm)South Tyne Lad Yes in the 1980s, I believe that was the metrocar that crashed into a bus at Kingston Park in the 1980s, but nothings come off the rails recently from what I can gather.
From a poster on RailUKForums below:
" 4083 is on one of the outside stabling roads with its pantograph up. All of the windows looks like they have been replaced so there is no vinyl on them anymore, whether its any closer to returning to service or not who knows. "
