4934 - Repainted but still see's use on the 56.
4944
4961
4962
4963
4964
4965
4966 - all Northern
+ most or all of the FAB 56's will go Northern to but the X7 will hopefully get 4 of them.
To be fair, they have been flogged to death over the years on high frequency suburban services like the M1, 20 and 56 as well as some of the second hand examples, which have been shunted around the depots and faced every time of run going.
They have done their job well, but are suffering for it now.
Will give them another 2 years, before being shipped off.
Edit. Just noticed a comment on the fb page re a broken down 50. Presumably a Solar...
