Do anyone know whether 39696 is still at Hartlepool depot ? I believe it was delivered there for spares removal about the same time that 39695 went to Sunderland for the same purpose.

If still there, is it visible from the outside or is it hidden away in the corner of the depot. In other words, will I need to pack my hi-vis jacket when visiting !!

Thanks in advance for any info.

Was outside on 4th January minus front panels.

Thanks for that. Think I'm overdue a visit to Hartlepool, as the last time I can remember being there was for the Tall Ships in 2010, and that was mainly for the class 47s and 57s on the Darlington - Sunderland shuttles. The depot will be a first for me as well.
