(01 Nov 2024, 9:40 pm)PH - BQA wrote They've got multiple vehicles back from long term VOR this week, indeed 7427 was available but not required today.
1513 returned to service this week with a new engine, and I believe 1537 and 7545 are also due back with new engines imminently. 7532 also returned after being off for a while.
7548 is at Durham, having been there in the summer to be fixed only to give up after a trip to Alniwck on the X20 on its return. I imagine that's the one that's furthest off a return.
Nothing was actually transferred away when the services were cut, merely placed into reserve, so on paper they should be fine for Monday.
Yeah that makes sense then, didn't realise things had improved a bit as it was a looking pretty dire even a week ago.
Had a feeling they might have sent 7510/11/12 or whatever ones are staying up here and aren't going to Yorkshire. Don't believe they're actively doing anything right now.
Obviously no use for the expresses but they could potter around on the 1/2/57/57A.
