(10 Aug 2019, 8:07 am)Jimmi Believe it's the latter, some still have high book value so won't send them for scrap until the value comes down, still some at the back of Darlington as well.

</p><p>Ashington still have 1616 on site aswell I believe...</p>

(08 Aug 2019, 9:50 pm)Ryland Redcar haven't been very punctual over the past two days 4707 broken down yesterday in the high street and today 1429 broke down at redcar central crossings
Also presuming it's 2862 but there was a solo at the back of the depot yesterday and today it was gone

4710 broke down today, a 62 missed out.

Yes, branding was removed from this one to allow greater flexibility with allocations especially as one more was 64 branded than what was required (9 branded for PVR of 8). 1533 also lost it's 6 branding to allow greater flexibility with allocations with 7539 losing 24 branding for the same reason.
