Thought 036 was for EKR? or are they getting 2?

I think 065 is at Heaton in warm storage, the rest I think are still in service.

Hearing the move will be wednesday around 3am. Also hearing it won’t go the whole way, it’ll stop at Crewe until later in the day.

Doesn’t look like there’s any where to see them.
I’ve seen some pictures on Facebook, if you go and join the UK HST enthusiast group there is a picture of a 142 next to a LNER 43 in Gascoigne wood sidings but it doesn’t look like a very easy spot to get to , if it’s legal

You’d have to ask them how to get to it.

They’ll be gradually moved to Newport and Kingsbury for scrapping over the next few weeks or months. I guess if someone buys one then they might get moved by road to a preserved railway.

At the moment only 66587 is in ONE pink livery, best regards

Yes 3 sounds right. It would appear you just missed the other 4, as they moved from Barrow to Heaton today. The ones left at Barrow should be 142028 142034 142046

Thankyou Murray, I have updated the post. Best Regards

142059 had an accident many years ago and was soon after scrapped. Back in 1991 I think

Thankyou Mark for the update 🙂
