Passenger operators put parts of fleet into warm storage...

摘要

OPERATORS have been placing trains in warm storage, following the reduction in the number of services due to COVID-19. While some companies have used this as an opportunity to permanently withdraw some vehicles, as Greater Anglia did with its Class 90-hauled Mk 3 sets (RAIL 902), others have simply decided to 'cycle' trains through maintenance. However, a number of companies have also sent trains into storage, with some new sets among them. Northern has removed its 23-strong Class 144 fleet from traffic, with 18 stored at the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway and the remainder stored at Heaton.
