RE: East Coast / Virgin Trains East Coast - northern156 - 16 May 2015 VTEC don't hire anything other than HSTs. All EMT HSTs and EC64 have leather seats in 1st; if it was a full EMT set would've been 43064 and 43081. Can't find anything about what the other set was although I'll keep trying RE: East Coast / Virgin Trains East Coast - Davie - 23 May 2015 91128 failed https://flic.kr/p/suDadx RE: East Coast / Virgin Trains East Coast - 8222 - 26 May 2015 Any news if the first HST has been relivered?

No. If any get liveried, I'll add them to the fleetlist. RE: East Coast / Virgin Trains East Coast - Davie - 30 May 2015 Does anybody know if the East Midlands HST is still on hire to Virgin trains East Coast?
