(03 Jul 2023, 5:10 pm)V514DFT wrote They've already started scrapping the old units, 4055 left last week after being out of action for quite some time, i suspect its been a parts donor, aswell as 4062 which were both residing in the centre in South Shields, so i expect that will go next, and most of us already know about 4022 which was uneconomical to repair after it derailed in the depot in 2017, i just wonder if its a little premature, 555001 and 555002 were sent back, and still havent arrived, so far they only have 555003/4/5 which are only in the testing phase

There's loads more off that just those two like. Btw this is the full list of current units and their status, thanks to @DanNCL on RailUK - https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/met...ro.244590/

Key:
Green - operational
Red - withdrawn
Orange - not operational, may return to service in the future
Blue - Under attention
Purple - non passenger use
Grey - removed from Nexus property but survives
Strikethrough - Scrapped
Units marked with * did not undergo the 2010-2015 Wabtec refurbishment, instead receiving corrosion repairs and RVAR mods at Gosforth between 2018-2020. They are not compatible with the wider fleet in service, however may run together empty.
Units marked with = did not receive the new male auto announcements in 2014-2015 and retain the previous female auto announcements. Announcements are controlled by the leading unit, the announcements installed on the leading unit will play through the full formation.
